1977 Cessna 172N Skyhawk II

Our Primary and Instrument training aircraft, Four November Alpha is a very clean, well-maintained version of the most widely produced Skyhawk which has been a single owner aircraft since 1984. It is not the same Skyhawk that came from Wichita in 1977. Pluses: a 180 horsepower conversion replacing the stock 160 HP engine. This gives 4NA about double the climb rate and slightly faster speeds. a gross weight increase from 2300 pounds to 2550 pounds. Makes it a C182 ‘light’ and a true 4 passenger aircraft with full fuel tanks. Completely repainted with Imron and a new interior in 1990. Garmin 430 WAAS GPS equipped, giving precision capability instrument approaches to most airports. Goodyear stormscope / strikefinder for lightning detection. S-TEC, System 20 autopilot. PS Engineering 1000, 4-place intercom. Rosen see through sun visors, the industries best. Improved instrument and panel lighting for night operations. LED landing and taxi lights which are super bright and practically ‘break-proof.” excellent interior and exterior, constantly maintained. all new glass. additional insulation for warmth and quieter travel. air leaks sealed so quieter and warmer inside. Future Improvements: Plans are to put in an HSI and GPSS steering to bring it more up to date with current capabilities in newer aircraft.
