Measured by its longevity & popularity, the Cessna 172 is the most successful aircraft in history. The first production model was delivered in 1956 & the aircraft remains in production today, with more than 44,000 aircraft being built.

Flight Standards is proud to own a fleet of 172 P Model aircraft – which we believe is the most practical & appropriate aircraft of the 172 lineage for flight training. With long range tanks fitted as standard, a higher payload than its predecessors without the complexity & fuel consumption of the later model aircraft with fuel injected engines, the C172P is ideal for longer journeys & remote operations.

The C172P forms the backbone of the Flight Standards training fleet – training for the majority of licences & operational ratings will be conducted, at least in part, in this aircraft.

These aircraft are readily available for private hire.
