Brand New Cessna 172 sitting on the runway

180 Cessna 172 Skyhawks Flight Training Aircraft Suited for Student Pilots

The Cessna Skyhawk is the ultimate single-engine training aircraft.

ATP operates one of the largest Cessna CE-172 Skyhawk training fleets. With their stable flight characteristics, advanced avionics, and proven dispatch reliability, ATP continues to invest in the Skyhawk, recently accepting delivery of eight new aircraft which was part of an order for 100 factory-new Cessna 172s through 2023.

  • All aircraft are equipped with moving-map GPS avionics, with some featuring Garmin's G1000 NXi electronic flight deck and autopilot technology.
  • These 172s are more spacious and offer greater performance than smaller two-seat Cessna 152s.
  • Used exclusively by students in the Airline Career Pilot Program.
