alpaviation operates two Cessna 182 Skylanes - the retractable-gear HB-CLU 182 RG and the brand-new (2025) HB-TGK 182T. Both deliver 1,406 kg MTOM, full IFR capability, and the proven Skylane handling. The RG adds retractable landing gear and a constant-speed propeller for complex-aircraft experience; the 182T brings factory-new Garmin G1000 NXi avionics. Together they cover IR(A) training, CPL(A) hour-building, and long-range alpine touring.

The Skylane fleet covers IR(A) training, CPL(A) hour-building, and long-range alpine touring. The RG is essential for pilots needing complex-aircraft experience (retractable gear + constant-speed propeller); the 182T is the modern glass-cockpit step-up before transitioning to high-performance singles like the P210R.
