Aircraft information
General description
The Cessna 172 Rocket, registered as D-ECVF, presents a unique opportunity to own a well-maintained aircraft with a rich and traceable history. Since its initial registration in Germany, this aircraft has remained consistently under the same registration and has been cared for by only three owners. Its meticulously kept journey logbooks, which date back to 1977, document its total time of 1,657 hours at that time and are now fully digitized.
With approximately 4,185 total flight hours, including about 1,156 hours since its engine overhaul and 124 hours since its propeller overhaul, this aircraft reflects the diligent maintenance it has received. Equipped with a powerful 210 HP engine, it delivers impressive performance and reliability. The current owner, who has cherished the aircraft since 2000, has ensured that it remains in excellent condition, with no known damage history to date.
This is an exceptional chance to acquire a Cessna 172 Rocket with a proven record of care, performance, and dependability.
