About the Cessna 172N

The Cessna 172N is the late-1970s Skyhawk (1977-1980) — a 160-hp Lycoming O-320 four-seater from the high-production years and one of the most common used 172s on the market. It flies like any Skyhawk (~120-kt cruise, forgiving, cheap to run), so the buy decision is condition and engine history rather than capability: confirm which O-320 variant is fitted and its overhaul status, since some early O-320-H2AD engines had camshaft and lifter problems that drive cost. For a first airplane or trainer it remains one of the most supportable singles in aviation.

Produced 1976–1980.
