GB Aircraft has delivered a new Cessna T182T Turbo Skylane aircraft with SP-THD markings to a private user.
This is the first turbocharged version of the aircraft in Poland after Textron Aviation resumed production of the model last year.
The aircraft comes standard with Garmin G1000NXi avionics (glass cockpit), heated propeller and oxygen installation, and was delivered at EPRU Częstochowa Rudniki Airport.
GB Aircraft, a long-time representative of Cessna in Poland, has delivered nearly 30 new Cessna aircraft of the Skyhawk, Skylane, Stationair and Grand Caravan models to customers in its 18 years of operation.

The Goldwings Flight Academy flight school has taken delivery of another new PS-28 Cruiser aircraft. The aircraft with registration marks SP-CFI certified for VFR Day flights under the EASA Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) category is the fifth such aircraft at the center. Currently, the school’s fleet consists of three PS-28N Cruiser (VFR Day & Night) and two PS-28 Cruiser (VFR Day) aircraft. The PS-28 Cruiser has a class-leading airframe residual life of 11,000 hours and is equipped with an advanced Dynon SkyView HDX1100 glass cockpit avionics, Sensenich propeller and additional cabin heating and ventilation system. PS-28 Cruiser aircraft have already flown more than 40,000 hours in training in Poland.

The PS-28 Cruiser aircraft with SP-GBC markings has flown 6,000 hours in training pilots for PPL(A) licenses during its nine years of service at Warsaw’s Ventum Air Flight Academy. The SP-GBC is the first aircraft from Cruiser Aircraft to be imported by GB Aircraft in 2014. Since then, the PS-28 Cruiser aircraft fleet, now numbering 14 aircraft at 4 aviation centers, has already flown nearly 40,000 hours in training. CS-LSA-certified PS-28 Cruiser aircraft are offered in two versions: PS-28 Cruiser for VFR Day flights and PS-28N Cruiser for VFR Day & Night flights.

The PS-28 Cruiser features the longest airframe life in the class at as much as 11,000 hours. Aircraft of competing companies have this parameter significantly reduced, it is only 6,000 – 7,000 hours. This not only demonstrates the high durability of the PS-28 Cruiser aircraft’s design, but also affects its higher resale value.
