Avionics & Interior

The 2020 Cessna 172SP Skyhawk combines its dependable 180 horsepower Lycoming IO-360 engine with some of the most advanced avionics available in a four-seat trainer.

At the center of the cockpit is the Garmin G1000 NXi integrated glass panel, delivering crisp, high-resolution displays for flight instruments, moving maps, GPS navigation, traffic, and weather. The NXi system offers faster processing, wireless connectivity, and optional synthetic vision, providing pilots with unmatched situational awareness. Enhancing this capability is the Garmin GFC-700 autopilot and flight director, which delivers precise lateral and vertical guidance, making cross-country flying and instrument training smoother and more efficient.

Inside the cabin, leather seating offers comfort for up to four occupants, creating a professional yet relaxed atmosphere for both training flights and recreational trips. This combination of cutting-edge avionics, trusted performance, and interior comfort ensures that the 2020 Skyhawk is equally suited for flight schools, rentals, and personal flying.
