Description

The Cessna 172 is a four-seat, single-engine piston high-wing aircraft with a 160 hp Lycoming engine and fixed propeller. The aircraft is certified for VFR/IFR/Night flights. The aircraft is equipped with a Garmin 650 GPS. Read the detailed technical specification: Cessna 172M – Specifications (pdf). In 2014, our OK-BAF aircraft underwent a total interior and exterior modernisation. The history of the Cessna 172 dates back to 1956, when the first aircraft were manufactured by the Cessna Aircraft Company in the United States, and since then, more than 43,000 have been built. The aircraft stands out for its above-average flight characteristics, ease of piloting and, in particular, high flight safety. It has rightly become one of the most successful aircraft in history and one of the most widespread types operated throughout the world.
