1979 Cessna 172N SkyhawkSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1979 Cessna 172N Skyhawk II (C-GKNE) presents a well-maintained example with 2,600 hours on the airframe and a Lycoming O-320-H2AD engine showing just 210 hours since major overhaul in January 2020. The aircraft features a fixed-pitch propeller with recent stabilizer abrasion boots, new exhaust system, and a comprehensive winter kit for cold-weather operations. Compression readings across all cylinders remain strong, ranging from 75/80 to 78/80, and the seller confirms no corrosion issues with a prepurchase inspection report available.

The panel is IFR-equipped with a Garmin 327 transponder, recently installed RC Allen vacuum horizon gyro, and dual NAV/COM setup including a Narco MK12 with localizer/glideslope and Cessna ARC-300. Additional avionics include a Garmin 796 GPS, JPI fuel computer, and ACK encoding altimeter. The aircraft benefits from LED lighting upgrades throughout, vernier throttle modification, and features an Artex 406 ELT. With an 807 lb useful load and 40-gallon fuel capacity, this Skyhawk maintains its original orange/brown-on-white exterior scheme and tan/beige interior.
