172RG CUTLASS

This 1979 Cessna 172RG Cutlass (N786RY) presents as a well-maintained retractable-gear trainer with 9,700 total airframe hours and 2,591 hours since major engine overhaul. The aircraft has just completed a fresh annual inspection and pitot-static system check, along with a new ELT battery installation. The interior received a comprehensive refresh approximately five years ago, featuring new leather seats, carpeting, side panels, headliner, and cargo area with netting - all complemented by new seat belts.

Avionics are highlighted by a Garmin 430 navigator, with practical additions including USB charging ports, rear headset jacks, and power connections in the cargo area for accessories like the included new air cooler. The aircraft comes equipped with two inflatable PFDs and a full exterior cover in good condition. Maintenance documentation is complete with all logs, POH/AFM, and the Garmin 430 manual. With its 2,000-hour TBO engine currently showing 2,591 SMOH, this Cutlass would likely require engine attention in the near future. The seller notes the engine runs smoothly and the aircraft is ready for inspection in Concord, California.
