Complete Interior Refurbishment for a Cessna 185 Skywagon
Generation Global recently completed a full interior refurbishment of a Cessna 185 Skywagon, transforming the cabin into a refined, modern space. From floor coverings to seat upholstery, this comprehensive project highlighted the attention to detail and craftsmanship that Generation Global is known for. All interior components were supplied and installed by our expert team, providing the client with a ready-to-fly aircraft interior that blends both luxury and practicality.
Cessna 185 Seating and Upholstery
The seating layout of this Cessna 185 included two front seats, two auxiliary second-row single seats, and a rear bench seat. All seats were upgraded with custom dress covers in Charcoal Grey (ADI-1121) aviation leather, with matching grey stitching for a sleek, cohesive appearance.
As a finishing touch, the front seat backrests were embossed with the iconic Cessna logo, adding a refined branding detail. These upgrades significantly enhanced both the visual appeal and comfort of the cabin.
Headlining and Cabin Linings
To complement the dark leather seats, we installed a suspended headlining wrapped in white vinyl, creating a bright, open atmosphere within the cabin. Matching white vinyl was also used for the windlace trim around the doors and the sunvisor wraps, providing consistency throughout the space.
A full plastic interior lining kit was also supplied and installed. All plastic panels above the windows were painted white to blend seamlessly with the vinyl ceiling, while the armrests were wrapped in Charcoal Grey leather, tying in with the seat upholstery.
Floor Coverings and Finishing Touches
The original floor coverings were replaced with a new ash-toned aviation carpet, finished with black mesh binding around the edges for durability and contrast. This upgrade not only refreshed the appearance of the floor but also improved overall wear resistance.
Lastly, our team refurbished the control yokes, fitting them with perforated black leather grips for a professional, tactile finish. These subtle enhancements elevate the pilot experience while maintaining the aircraft's vintage charm.
