About the Cessna 172RG Cutlass RG

The Cessna 172R Skyhawk is the most recent production variant of the world's most successful aircraft design, with over 44,000 Skyhawks built since 1956. Introduced in 1996, the 172R brought fuel injection to the venerable trainer, replacing the carbureted O-360 with a 180-horsepower Lycoming IO-360-L2A that eliminated carburetor icing concerns and improved hot-weather performance. This four-seat high-wing single remains the backbone of flight training worldwide, equally at home teaching student pilots the basics of coordinated flight or carrying a family on weekend cross-country trips at a comfortable 122-knot cruise.

The R model's docile handling characteristics (a stall speed of just 47 knots clean and 40 knots with full flaps) make it forgiving for novice pilots, while its 696-nautical-mile range and 13,500-foot service ceiling provide genuine utility for private owners. The type's ubiquity means parts and maintenance expertise are available at virtually any airport with a maintenance shop, and its resale value remains remarkably stable. Cessna continues to produce the 172 today as the 172S variant with a Garmin glass cockpit, but thousands of 172R models from the late 1990s and early 2000s remain in active service.
