Cessna-Skyhawk-172SP
With 20 more hard-charging horses and 100 more pounds of useful load than the Standard Skyhawk, this remarkable aircraft delivers a boost in both climb and cruise performance (
124 tas at 75% power). Its high-performance McCauley propeller delivers extra kick, while its rich, leather interior gives you comfort to kick back in. The SkyHawk SP is the preferred trainer for many Northern California flight schools, and
the best first step for new aircraft owners.
