About the plane
Our aircraft is a recent and extremely well maintained 1999 Cessna SP Skyhawk 172. The 172S “Special Performance” edition has a fuel-injected Lycoming IO-360-L2A that is rated at 180 horsepower - 20 more horsepower than the other Skyhawks, allowing superior climb, faster cruise and heavier payloads.
Fuel injection engines’ have no carburetor heat, as the carburetor will not ice. Furthermore, power is delivered at lower RPM than traditional engines allowing for a quieter and smoother flight.
The interior is in superior beige leather, adding a feel of comfort matching modern comfort from luxury cars. Furthermore, Cessna 172SP have the latest cockpit soundproofing and vibration attenuation material, allowing for a enjoyable quiet ride.
Our Cessna comes fully equipped with a complete IFR panel featuring state-of-the-art digital Bendix/King avionics.
The KLN 94 color moving map GPS combines IFR approach capability and advanced database navigation (see the related KLN GPS overview article in this section). It has an automatic “vector to final” approach function, as well as a “procedures” button to simplify loading of approaches and other standard procedures.
The GPS is also coupled with the KAP 140 autopilot, allowing you to fly IFR approved GPS approaches. With dual glide slope and dual VORs, this Cessna lets you operate in the IFR environment with safety and confidence.
This new Skyhawk has a wide range of upgraded details over older models making it more user friendly, comfortable, durable and safe. With its additional power and its 53 gallons of fuel (9 gph), you’ll have greater flexibility when loading for your cross-country flights. Everything from nose to tail on our SP has been re-engineered by Cessna to create the best-performing Skyhawk ever built.
