On the avionics side of things, the plan was to equip the Cessna 172 with some of the most advanced avionics available in order to make it an ideal instrument flight rules (IFR) training aircraft, as well as a steppingstone to assist student pilots transition to more advanced airframes. At the end of this project the aircraft will leave ready for many decades of training flights. With both aircraft requiring complete overhauls, including avionics, powerplant, interior, structural, and paint. ![]() With the Landing Gear Removed, the 172 was Placed on a Dollie The 172 Came to Us Already Stripped Down Ready for Us to Install New Equipmentīoth the 172 and 152 were not in the best of condition, they were completely disassembled before being placing on a truck and sent to the Lower Mainland where work was split between our hangar in Pitt Meadows, and Upper Valley Aviation in Chilliwack. Our customer is a well-established flight school in the Arizona, as they recently opened their second training base in Anchorage, Alaska, these two aircraft are required to meet the new demands for flight training in Alaska. Although the Cessna 152 was only produced for a short eight years nearly four decades ago, it continues to be one of the best training aircraft available both economically and in terms of handling. Along with the slightly smaller Cessna 152, if you ask almost any pilot what plane they first learned to fly, chances are it will be one of those two. The Cessna 172 is the most produced aircraft in the world and is often the first airplane people think of when they think general aviation or flight training. Training Aircraft Get Modern Upgrades 1984 Cessna 172P & 1977 Cessna 152 The Panel in the Cessna 152 is Much Simpler Than That of the 172 Making it Optimal for Initial Training Together with Upper Valley Aviation based in Chilliwack, we rebuilt two iconic training aircraft, a Cessna 152 and 172 which are destined to soon provide a platform to teach the next generation of pilots in Alaska. Maxcraft has long argued the importance and overall economic benefits of replacing traditional gyro instruments with solid state glass panels in training aircraft. ![]()
