2000 Cessna 172R SkyhawkSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 2000 Cessna 172R Skyhawk (registration C-GHTM) presents an interesting opportunity with its recently installed factory-rebuilt engine showing just 2 hours since installation, effectively starting fresh with a 0-time factory remanufactured powerplant while maintaining the 2,200-hour TBO. The airframe has accumulated 23,087 total hours but is described as being in very good shape with no corrosion and maintained to rigorous Canadian commercial standards comparable to U.S. Part 135 operations. Notably, this aircraft was never used as a flight school trainer, having served exclusively in professional traffic watch operations with bubble windows for visibility.

The package includes valuable spare components: two overhauled cylinders, a spare propeller, three magnetos, an alternator, and a starter. The aircraft is equipped with a 406 ELT for modern emergency location capability. While structurally sound, the interior requires a carpet kit and the exterior could benefit from fresh paint, allowing the new owner to customize its appearance. This high-time airframe with essentially a new engine offers a cost-effective solution for operators seeking a proven platform with recent major powerplant investment.
