The exhilarating Skylane

Sure. You could fly a Skylane for all kinds of rational, cognitive reasons: like an exceptional blend of speed, range, safety, capability, price and cost of ownership. But why not just strap in, fire up all 230 horses and trust your gut instead? You'll soon realize why the Skylane is the four-passenger aircraft chosen by more pilots as their personal favorite aircraft than any other.

Beauty and brawn unite

The Skylane has it all: ramp appeal, more horsepower and the versatility you require. Not only that, it delivers exceptional performance on the runway and in the air. After all, what are good looks without the performance to back them up?

Travel in comfort. Arrive in style

From its state-of-the-art flight deck to its spacious baggage compartment, every inch of the Skylane interior is as functional as it is comfortable. The contoured leather or cloth seats adjust four ways for total comfort while a molded headliner offers a cabin lighting and air console for multilevel ventilation.

The invigorating Turbo Skylane

First, take the four-passenger aircraft chosen by more pilots as their personal favorite than any other. Then, elevate its performance to an even higher level with an agile 1,040-feet-per-minute (5.3 m/s) climb.

Lycoming IO-540-AB1A5 powerplant

This pilot favorite features a McCauley three-bladed constant-speed prop so you can take advantage of different power settings, leading to a boost in performance. And thanks to its Lycoming IO-540-AB1A5 powerplant, the Skylane serves up 230 horsepower and climbs at 924 fpm (282 mpm). It can also reach speeds up to 150 knots (278 km/hr), or cruise at 145 knots (269 km/hr) for 773 nautical miles (1,432 km).

Turbo

First, take the four-passenger aircraft chosen by more pilots as their personal favorite than any other. Then, elevate its performance to a higher scale with an agile 1,040 feet-per-minute (5.3 m/s) climb thanks to its TIO-540 turbo powerplant. The advanced slope-controlled turbocharger enables this hard-charger to ascend up and over unfriendly weather, terrain and traffic, as well as take advantage of more favorable winds. The Turbo Skylane carries full-rated power all the way to a max operating altitude of 20,000 feet (6,096 m). There, you’ll cruise the clear, smooth air at speeds of up to 176 ktas (326 km/hr).
