Cessna 172P Skyhawk History:

The Cessna 172P Skyhawk is a four-seat, single-engine, high-wing fixed-wing aircraft. More of these aircraft have been built than anyother in the world. It has served flying schools, private pilots, Governments and Countries more than any other aircraft.The aircraft started with basic flight navagation aids and has evolved into an aircraft with the same cockpit as the Boeing 747.

The 172P, or Skyhawk P, was introduced in 1981 to solve the reliability problems of the "N" engine. The Lycoming O-320-D2J was a great improvement.The "P" model also saw the maximum flap deflection decreased from 40 degrees to 30 to allow a gross weight increase from 2,300 lb (1,043 kg) to 2,400 lb (1,089 kg). A wet wing was optional, with a capacity of 62 US gallons of fuel.

In 1982, the "P" saw the landing lights moved from the nose to the wing to increase bulb life. The 1983 model added some minor sound-proofing improvements and thicker windows.Production of the "P" ended in 1985 and no more 172s were built for eleven years as legal liability rulings in the USA had pushed Cessna's insurance costs too high, resulting in dramatically increasing prices for new aircraft. There were only 195 172s built in 1984, a rate of fewer than 4 per week.Since those time the famous Cessna 172 has been put back into production and continues to sell as fast as they are built. More Cessna 172s have been built than any other aircraft. It is probably the most popular flight training aircraft in the world.
