Airframe Description

Yingling follows a well-defined system for identifying and acquiring suitable aircraft for inclusion in the Ascend 172 program. These airplanes are thoroughly inspected for structural integrity and stripped to the bare metal to eliminate the possibility of corrosion prior to being refinished and repainted.  

The Ascend 172 remanufacture is more than some new paint and radios. It’s a comprehensive and rigorous process that includes extensive disassembly, inspections, replacement of old parts with new ones, overhauls (including the engine, propeller and landing gear), renovations and updates that amount to a virtual transformation.
