Key Takeaways:
Textron Aviation is reintroducing the Cessna Turbo Skylane T182T after a nearly decade-long hiatus, aiming to meet pilot demand for operations in mountainous regions or at higher altitudes.
The updated four-seater features modern amenities including the latest Garmin G1000 NXi avionics suite, new interiors, an in-cabin oxygen system, a heated propeller, and a 235 hp Lycoming TIO-540 turbocharged engine.
Available for orders at a base price of $653,000, deliveries for the new model are expected to begin early next year.
