About the Cessna 172

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most-produced aircraft in history, with over 44,000 built since its introduction in 1956. Originally designed as a tricycle-gear evolution of the tailwheel Cessna 170, the 172 became the definitive training aircraft for generations of pilots worldwide. Its forgiving flight characteristics, rugged construction, and simple systems made it the backbone of flight schools across six continents.

The current production model, the 172S Skyhawk SP, is powered by a Lycoming IO-360 producing 180 horsepower and features a Garmin G1000 glass cockpit in most configurations. With a service ceiling of 14,000 feet and a range of approximately 640 nautical miles, the 172 remains capable enough for cross-country flight training and personal transportation while maintaining its reputation for docile handling. The type's longevity is unmatched in general aviation: Cessna resumed production in 1996 after a ten-year hiatus, and the aircraft remains in production today in Independence, Kansas.

Its ubiquity means parts and maintenance expertise are available at nearly every airport with repair facilities. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
