The Cessna 172RG Cutlass was added to the successful 172 series in the 1980’s. Intended as an evolution towards its larger cousins, in addition to a larger engine this aircraft features retractable undercarriage & a variable pitch propeller with the same design philosophy as the Cessna 210N. Therefore, this aircraft is a logical choice for early Commercial Pilot Licence training.

With a cruising speed of 125 knots, uplift of 450 kg & over six hours endurance, this aircraft is also an ideal choice for touring the Top End.

Our Cessna 172RG is used for MPPC / RU Design Feature Endorsement training, as well as for Commercial Pilot Licence & Instrument Rating. Consistent with our intent to modernise our aircraft, it is fitted with dual GPS units (Garmin GTN750 & 430W), as well as the Aspen 1000 EFIS with synthetic vision & a JPI EDM-930 engine management system.

This aircraft is available for private hire.
