1976 Cessna 172N SkyhawkSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1976 Cessna 172N Skyhawk presents as a well-equipped primary and IFR trainer with several notable upgrades. The airframe shows 3,754 total hours with a strong-running 180HP O-360 engine upgrade showing 1,893 hours since major overhaul (just past the 1,800-hour TBO). The aircraft features a constant-speed propeller conversion and STOL kit for enhanced performance, achieving 120-125 KTAS cruise speeds at 7,000-9,000 feet. The panel is IFR-ready with a Garmin GNS 530W WAAS GPS, King KX 155 NAV/COM, Garmin GTX 327 transponder, and Uavionix Tail Beacon for ADS-B Out compliance, complemented by a Stratus receiver for ADS-B In capability.

The aircraft benefits from recent interior updates including a new Airtex interior and carpet installed in 2021, with the seller rating the interior condition as 9+. The exterior maintains its original paint in condition 5-6, with LED lighting upgrades throughout except for the tail beacon. Maintenance records are complete since new, and the aircraft comes with wheel pants (currently removed) for the main gear. With an annual due in July 2025 and regular flying history, this Skyhawk is positioned as a turnkey trainer with performance enhancements. The aircraft is currently based at KMQJ in central Indiana and will be available for delivery in mid-May 2025.
