An updated Turbo Skylane T182T is returning to Cessna’s piston product lineup after a nine-year hiatus. Textron Aviation is taking orders for the $653,000 turbocharged piston single with deliveries expected to begin in early 2023.

The refreshed Turbo Skylane will feature upgrades including Garmin G1000 NXi avionics, a three-blade McCauley heated propeller, and an in-cabin oxygen system. Powered by the Lycoming TIO-540 engine, the airplane’s powerplant includes a Hartzell Engine Technologies turbocharger that produces 235 horsepower at up to 20,000 feet. It has seating for four and an estimated range of 971 miles.

Introduced in 2001, the Wichita-based OEM paused production of the airplane in 2013 while the company focused on a number of other product developments. Production of the Turbo Skylane will occur at the company’s Independence, Kansas plant.

“The Turbo Skylane represents our commitment to offering new and innovative solutions to our piston owners and operators, and we’re pleased to bring expanded capabilities to this segment of the market,” said Textron Aviation president and CEO Ron Draper.
