Pilot's Operating Handbook. FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual. Pany contains information applicable to the 1984 Model 172P airplane.

I'm always looking for POHs for my own collection - I reckon the more POHs an instructor can have access to the better. HercFeend- Does Canterbury Aero Club know about this C172P copy?? CB - That scribd has some nice resources - thanks for the link.

Dunno why I've never come across it in search before, but you do need to pay - or upload, if you want to download, which is fair enough - share resources. All the Cessna manuals they have I have already, posted here Free POHs (no limits or registrations.trying to build a collection - submissions welcomed, concentrating on Cessna but happy to post anything helpful.

Looking for a C182L if anyone has one, among others. And anything C210 related (left mine at home:() If anyone objects I'll take it down, but I reckon shared knowledge=improved safety!!! Thanks Big Pistons, looks like a nice site and a couple I don't have. I'm trying to spread the word, but keep it quiet if you know what I mean, hehe, but it's a work in progress, happy to help. (Needless I hope to say -for non-commercial and non-operational use only.) Thanks so much to those who've sent private contributions. Betterfromabove - sorry on the validation file, I think I may have removed it recently since I am not in Namibia right now, and can't guarantee the accuracy, it's a magic place to hire and fly, but sorry to say high insurance and poor standards of flight training schools (the former caused by the latter) mean it is quite difficult to arrange.

There are four schools who can advise, send me an email message if you want more details, as it's not appropriate to go into that here, but if it's always been a dream I am sure you can make it work.

In January 1955, Cessna flew an improved variant of the Cessna 170, a -powered Cessna 170C with larger elevators and a more angular tailfin. Driver canon mg2470. Although the variant was tested and certified, Cessna decided to modify it with a tricycle landing gear, and the modified Cessna 170C flew again on 12 June 1955.

To reduce the time and cost of certification, the type was added to the Cessna 170 type certificate as the Model 172. Later, the 172 was given its own type certificate, 3A12. The 172 became an overnight sales success, and over 1,400 were built in 1956, its first full year of production. A 1960 Cessna 172A Early 172s were similar in appearance to the 170s, with the same straight aft fuselage and tall landing gear legs, although the 172 had a straight tailfin while the 170 had a rounded fin and rudder.
