Choose the 172RG Cutlass for retractable-gear speed and complex-aircraft time-building. Choose the R172 Hawk XP for extra power and useful load over the standard 172. | 15 |
| 172G | 1966–1966 | 4 | 114 kts (211 km/h) | 575 nm (1,065 km) | 850 lbs (386 kg) | — | Choose the 172G for the lowest-cost entry into the Skyhawk family, accepting the O-300's narrower support for classic character. | 3 |
