This 1979 Cessna 172N Skyhawk (C-GJRO) presents a well-maintained example with notable performance upgrades, showing 6,930.7 total hours on airframe. The aircraft received a Penn Yan Aero 180HP conversion and 2,550 lbs upgross modification, enhancing its utility for training or personal use. Power comes from a Lycoming O-360-A4M engine with 481.7 hours SMOH (overhauled October 2018) paired with a freshly overhauled Sensinich 76EM8SPY-O60 propeller. Extended range fuel tanks with additional drain valves improve operational flexibility.
The panel features modern avionics including dual Garmin G5 EFI displays (HSI and ASI), a Garmin GNS 430W GPS/NAV/COM, and a King KX 165 NAV/COM for robust IFR capability. Additional instrumentation includes an Electronics International engine monitoring suite and SkyTrac DSAT-300 tracking. The aircraft received exterior paint in 2019 along with interior refreshes including an Airtex panel installation and instrument panel repaint. Based at CYSM with commercial maintenance history, this 172N offers a balanced combination of upgraded performance and modernized systems.
