Production years (approx.): 1967–1968.
The Cessna 172H is a late-1960s Skyhawk variant powered by the Lycoming O-320-H2AD. Production of the H-model spanned roughly 1967–1968 before Cessna moved to later 172 letters.
Student and private pilots still fly many 172H airframes across Europe. This briefing applies take-off, landing, cruise, and weight-and-balance limits from the 172H POH — always cross-check your aircraft's current AFM and supplements.
