The Cessna 172

Bill Clarke

Three Stars

Just about everything you need to know to buy and own Cessna's most popular four-place airplane. Starting with the history of the company and its popular line of general aviation aircraft, Clarke takes you through detailed specifications of each model and engine, lists airworthiness directives and STCs, and more.

Unless you're a knowledgeable mechanic, you shouldn't buy an airplane without expert help. But this book will help you learn what you need to at least stand beside the mechanic and mumble things like "Boy, I just don't know about that H engine. I hear it's had some problems."

I learned to fly in Cessna 150's, 152's and 172's. I'm currently in the market for a used 172. Drop me a line if you've got one sitting in the hangar that you'd like to get rid of. <g>
