The Cessna 172R Skyhawk is possibly the most important light aircraft to enter production in the 1990s as it is the modern day development of the most popular general aviation aircraft in history.
The high performance 172S Skyhawk SP is pitched at owner-users. Delivered from July 1998 it features a IO-360-L2A engine (as on the 172R) but rated at 135kW (180hp) by increasing rpm. Other changes include a new interior with contoured front seats which adjust vertically and recline, an all new multi level ventilation system, standard four point intercom, interior soundproofing, and energy absorbing 26g seats with inertia reel harnesses.
