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>
