Cessna C182RG – N9947C
Our 1978 Cessna 182RG N9947C is a terrific cross country performer. This complex aircraft has a higher useful load and true airspeed than our trainers and is ideal for longer distance trips or just getting there fast. We regularly see true airspeeds in excess of 153kts!
The 182RG makes a fantastic training aircraft for the pilot working towards a commercial rating or certified flight instructor rating. Furthermore, with a 235 horsepower Lycoming O-540 engine, N9947C has no shortage of power and will earn you a high performance sign-off in your logbook. Who doesn’t want that?
