All,

Our club is in the final stages of purchasing a 1998 Cessna 182S.
Much to my dismay, I noticed the lack of a 12-volt cigarette lighter
(or it's 24-volt equivalent) anywhere to be found. (am I just not
looking in the right place?)

Dan,
You're right, the late '90's Cessna singles did not have cigarette
lighter jacks installed. There is plenty of room on the panel to
install one (or better yet, two), just like the older models. I've seen
this done on several aircraft.

Doesn't it have one of those weird 4 pin ARINC plugs that you need an
adapter for (a-lahttp://tinyurl.com/2erxr6) in the center pedestal?

Well, I didn't see that, but I was looking on the right side, mainly.
I'll have to check on the center panel. Does anyone know definatively
if late 90s 182s have this connector? I suppose I can look in the
manual... We haven't finalized purchase of the aircraft yet, but
having flown Pipers for about 95% of my flight time to date, the
downward visibility and shade offered by the high wing were definate
pluses.

I thought I wasn't going to like high wing, but it's not that bad
actually...
