Description
Detailed Description Turnkey, IFR-Certified Cessna 172N Skyhawk: Looking for a reliable time-builder, instrument trainer, or personal cross-country machine? This exceptionally clean Skyhawk is the definition of a "turnkey" aircraft, having been flown regularly to keep the engine active, oil circulating, and all systems at peak operating condition to prevent the typical moisture and corrosion issues found in sitting planes. The Lycoming O-320 engine runs incredibly strong with excellent compressions, backed by meticulous maintenance and regular oil changes. Fully IFR certified and current (91.411 & 91.413), the panel features a Garmin GNS 430 along with full ADS-B Out compliance, making it an ideal platform for confident IMC flight or instrument training. Complete, continuous, and original logbooks since day one show no major damage history, and the aircraft has been meticulously cared for with clean paint and a comfortable, intact interior. This healthy, active 172N needs nothing but a new pilot to take the controls and is ready for your pre-buy inspection. Serious inquiries only
