C172N N140PC - 180 HP

C172 N140PC at KPAO

The Skyhawk is the benchmark for a docile, easy-to-fly airplane with no rude surprises. But if you're looking for speed or style, look somewhere else. It is the perfect all-around airplane - economical, easy to fly, easy to maintain, stable in all flight modes, comfortable enough for four small adults, full tanks and a couple of small daypacks. N140PC has been upgraded with a 180 HP O-360 engine. This increases its maximum gross weight by 200 pounds. N140PC also has auxillary fuel tanks allowing an extended range.
