Remarks
N182SS is an extremely nice Cessna 182P! Not your normal conglomeration of junk, typical of many classic era 182’s! You can see by the photos, it’s an extremely nice machine! Believe it or not, that’s the original paint and paint scheme on this aircraft. Cessna utilized lacquer when they painted the airplanes from this timeframe. And when you can find one of their airplanes with the original lacquer application, you indeed have a jewel! Is the paint on this airplane perfect? Of course not, but it’s in magnificent condition for a 53 year old flying machine and reflects it’s very well kept history. The windows/windshield are super nice!
The sheet metal inside the wings, fuselage, and empennage is splendid! Including the extremely sensitive aluminum above the headliner containing the main and carry through spar areas. I’ve got numerous photographs of these areas taken within the preceding month while we had the aircraft thoroughly opened up for a comprehensive annual inspection. That included the removal of the headliner. And speaking of the ORIGINAL headliner…… It’s original, and looks like new!
The interior is extremely nice! That’s real custom leather and as you can see in superb condition! The leather still smells good! And the carpet looks terrific! The side panels and other appointments are unusually nice. Take a look at the photos! I think you’ll agree!
And that’s a pretty darned nice instrument panel and avionics package! No, it’s not the latest, greatest, video arcade, but everything works quite well, and will get you where you want to go without straining your brain! That S-Tec 55 autopilot does a swell job! And it’s all installed in new, aluminum, CNC machined panels with all the old, ugly, plastic and black sheet metal gone!
The engine compartment, the engine, and all the related equipment is extremely tidy and clean! And with only 475 hours on the TCM factory rebuild 285HP IO-520 engine, and Hartzell Scimitar prop, you’ve got a screamin’ demon of an airplane! The takeoff and climb out is unbelievable! That’s a complete, brand new Aerospace Welding/Acorn exhaust system (including brand new header pipes, brand new muffler, and all brand new attaching clamps and stainless hardware)! All the heater/ventilation hoses are double wall Sceet units. We just installed all new, blue, silicone baffle seals. And this engine runs cool! Last year we installed all new, integrated silicone fire sleeve, Teflon fluid lines. I’ve got a ton of photos of the engine and engine components I’ll be happy to share with you!
Take a look at those brand, new, McFarlane aviation seat rails. We installed the left set in 2025, and the right set in 2026. No skimping here, and for all intents and purposes, the AD pertaining to seat rails and seat components will be quite simple for many years to come. And speaking of AD’s, that’s a TCM ignition switch, and has no AD’s against it, thus one less thing to worry about at annual.
You’re gonna love those new Skybolt engine cowling fasteners. You’ll never be chasing those old rubber Lord mounts, year in, year out, ever again!
As to the logbook, they’re positively immaculate and reflect an amazing regimen of continuous maintenance!
From the JPI EDM 830, EI CA-1 carb temp/OAT, the P1000 digital tach, Air Wolf remote oil filter, Precise Flow cockpit vents, Eagle fuel cells, etc., N182SS is one fine airplane! Give me a call! I’ll tell you all about it!
