1978 Cessna 172N

Description

If looks matter, you’ll want our 172N Cessna Skyhawk with brand new custom-made gun metal Naugahyde upholstery and tailored light grey carpeting even in the baggage area and shelf. N5318E has been meticulously maintained since 2014 because our mission has been to train pilots and to ferry animals from shelters up and down the East Coast to forever homes, as far away as Minnesota. Performance is 18E’s hallmark; her standard 160 HP Lycoming 0320-H2AD engine is enhanced by Power Flow tuned exhaust which extracts an additional 20 HP from the power plant right when you need it. We’ve flown exclusively from Class C and 18E’s extra power is equal to the demanding requirements of that airspace. In addition to engine performance, its avionics package gives you the excellent clear communication and precise GPS navigation which are essential to keep you out of trouble with the controllers. The single axis autopilot takes away a great deal of workload, not only when it’s time for your coffee or sandwich, but when dealing with ATC or when NAV problems become intense. Her ADS-B was installed for full FAA compliance. Here’s what you’re looking for: N5318E is a 1978 Cessna Skyhawk, serial 1721836. Total airframe: 7398.
