Cessna offers ‘deposit amplifier’ on 182s

By Janice Wood · October 7, 2009 ·

Cessna Aircraft Co. has unveiled a “deposit amplifier” program through the end of the year that adds $30,000 to a deposit on a new Cessna 182 or Turbo 182 Skylane.

Also included in the offer is a free service bulletin kit for one of the following software upgrades: Garmin’s Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT) or Terrain Awareness and Warning Systems (TAWS-B), or Jeppesen Chartview (subscription not included). The service bulletin kit will be installed by the local dealer.

SkylaneDepending on the buyer’s individual circumstances, the aircraft may also qualify for accelerated depreciation if it is purchased by the end of the year, Cessna officials note.

The four-place Cessna 182 and Turbo 182 Skylane features a Lycoming IO-540 engine, Garmin G1000 avionics, and a range of more than 900 miles. When fitted with a turbocharger, the top speed jumps from 150 knots to 176 knots, or about 202 mph, Cessna officials add.
