About the Cessna 177RG

The retractable gear gives it more speed than the fixed-gear Cardinals, and its roomy cabin and good looks have earned it a devoted following.

Buying a Used Cessna 177RG
Every Cessna 177RG faces a mandatory 1,800-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due.
What to check before buying
- Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 1,800-hour limit; this dominates resale value more than total time.
- Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records; missing logs cut value and complicate financing.
- Damage history — any prior accident, hard landing or blade strike; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
- Avionics — a glass panel vs steam gauges materially changes price.
- Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
