About the Cessna 172RG

The Cessna 172RG Cutlass is the retractable-gear, constant-speed-prop development of the 172 — built largely as an affordable complex trainer for pilots earning the retractable and complex endorsement. A 180-hp Lycoming O-360 and folding gear lift it to roughly 140-kt cruise and a ~16,800-ft ceiling, both above the fixed-gear 172, in exchange for gear-system maintenance and complex-aircraft insurance. The buy case is a low-cost complex single for time-building or training; for straightforward cross-country hauling, a fixed-gear 182 is usually the simpler choice.

Produced 1980–1985.
