Highlights

Well-kept Cessna 172N with the highly desirable Penn Yan Aero 180 HP “Superhawk” conversion. This upgrade delivers noticeably better climb performance, shorter takeoff capability, and a higher useful load while retaining the simplicity, operating economy, and easy handling the 172 is known for. 1,501 empty weight, 2,550 Max Gross, 1,049 useful load!

The airplane is flown regularly and maintained on schedule. A JPI EDM-830 engine monitor is installed with all the important sensors — fuel flow, EGT/CHT, RPM, MAP, IAT, OAT, Volts, oil pressure, oil temp, and more — giving you complete visibility into engine health and performance. A fresh annual was completed 12/01/25, so it’s ready to keep flying without immediate maintenance needs. Compressions: #1} 78/80, #2} 76/80, #3} 78/80, #4} 76/80.


Interior presents well with many new trim pieces. Exterior paint is serviceable but shows its age. The panel is a complete King IFR Package - straightforward, uncluttered, and functional, making this a practical, honest airplane for training, travel, or upgrading from a lower-power 172.

If you’re looking for a strong-running 172N with the right performance upgrade, modern engine monitoring, complete logs, and no-nonsense ownership, this one checks the important boxes.
