About the Cessna 175A

The Cessna 175 Skylark is the geared-engine four-seat single produced 1958-1962 — the in-between aircraft Cessna fitted with a 175 hp Continental GO-300 (geared for a smaller, faster- spinning propeller). The geared engine proved unreliable in service and the 175 was discontinued after a short run. Today most 175s have been converted to direct-drive O-300 or O-360 engines via STC, making them effectively faster 172s.

Produced 1958–1962.
