This 1978 Cessna 172N presents as a commercially maintained aircraft with complete documentation since new, showing 4,839 total airframe hours. The Lycoming O-320-H2AD engine received a major overhaul in 2009 and currently shows 1,900 hours since overhaul, paired with a similarly overhauled 2-blade fixed-pitch propeller. The panel features a solid IFR-capable setup with dual nav/comms (Narco and King KX155), a Garmin GTX 327 transponder, and basic six-pack instrumentation, complemented by practical upgrades like dual USB ports and an Artex 406 ELT.

The aircraft benefits from long-range 50-gallon fuel capacity and includes useful features such as fuel steps and a 4-place intercom system. Recent exterior paint presents in 7/10 condition while the interior maintains a clean 6/10 appearance. With its commercial operation history and complete logbooks, this Skyhawk offers straightforward documentation for its next owner. The combination of recent powerplant overhaul history and functional avionics makes it a practical choice for training or personal use.
