Frequently Asked Questions
What aircraft does this Pilot's Operating Handbook cover?
This handbook covers the 1977 Cessna 172N Skyhawk. The part number is D1082-13, which is the factory-designated manual for this model year. It contains the original performance data, limitations, and procedures specific to the 172N variant produced that year.
Is this an original factory manual or a reproduction?
This is a high-quality reproduction sourced directly from Cessna Aircraft Company. Each copy is carefully cleaned, scanned, and printed on Canon digital printers to deliver clarity and legibility that far exceeds typical photocopies or informally scanned versions.
Can I use this manual as the required POH onboard my aircraft?
No. This reproduction is not FAA-approved and cannot serve as the legally required Pilot's Operating Handbook onboard your aircraft. It is intended for study, training, ground reference, and backup use. Your aircraft must carry its own FAA-approved, serial-number-specific POH.
Is this manual specific to a particular aircraft serial number?

The handbook covers the full range of operational topics including aircraft limitations, normal and emergency procedures, performance data, weight and balance, systems descriptions, and handling characteristics specific to the 1977 Cessna 172N Skyhawk.
How is the print quality of this reproduction?
Manuals are printed using state-of-the-art Canon digital printers after each original page has been carefully cleaned and scanned. The result is crisp, legible text and clear diagrams that address the common frustration with poorly reproduced older aviation manuals.
