About the 177RG
The Cessna 177RG is a single-engine, fixed-wing aircraft manufactured in the USA with a four-seat capacity, holding CS-23 type certification. It is designed as a high-wing monoplane featuring a strutless cantilever wing and retractable landing gear, suiting pilots seeking efficient cross-country travel with good cabin visibility.
Developed as part of the Cardinal family, this retractable-gear variant uses a fuel-injected engine to provide higher cruise speeds than its fixed-gear stablemates. Its design incorporates wide-opening doors and a stabilator for enhanced pitch control. Owners often focus maintenance attention on the hydraulic landing gear system and aging airframe structures.
