1979 Cessna 172N SkyhawkSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1979 Cessna 172N Skyhawk (N5284D) presents as a well-maintained example with 4,380 total airframe hours and a mid-time Lycoming O-320-H2AD engine showing 1,120 hours since its overhaul by Continental approximately four years ago. The aircraft has received substantial recent maintenance including corrosion treatment with Corrosion X (though some fuselage corrosion remains), complete flap and aileron removal for stripping, treatment, and repainting, along with new flap rollers and aileron actuator rods. The interior features recently reupholstered front seats, while the avionics benefit from overhauled primary flight instruments, a new altitude encoder, and includes a Sentry Mini ADS-B receiver.

Recent work completed within the last 15 flight hours includes an overhauled airspeed indicator, attitude indicator, and directional gyro, plus installation of a new Concord battery and starter solenoid. The aircraft is currently hangared in Tennessee and marketed as ready for immediate operation, with the seller emphasizing its low-time airframe status among comparable 172 models. While total time details are incomplete, the presentation focuses on the aircraft's recent maintenance investments and operational readiness.
