Key Takeaways:
Textron Aviation is reintroducing the Cessna Turbo Skylane T182T after nearly a decade, responding to demand from pilots operating in mountainous regions or at higher altitudes.
The updated four-seater features modern amenities, including the latest Garmin G1000 NXi avionics, new interiors, an in-cabin oxygen system, and a heated propeller.
It is powered by a Lycoming TIO-540 engine with a turbocharger, generating 235 hp up to 20,000 feet.
Textron Aviation is currently taking orders, with deliveries expected to begin early next year at a base price of $653,000.
