Cessna 172N – G-BOOL

160hp Touring C172 | Modern Avionics, Fresh Engine, Serious Comfort

G-BOOL is a C172N that combines classic Cessna handling with a thoroughly modern panel and a freshly overhauled engine.

With leather seats, upgraded avionics and smart engine monitoring, it’s a refined and capable tourer that feels a long way from a basic club trainer.

Under the cowl is a Lycoming O-320-H2AD driving a McCauley 1C160/DTM7557 propeller, a genuinely fresh engine that inspires confidence in performance and reliability.

Avionics & Panel

G-BOOL is equipped with a well-thought-out panel:

• Garmin GNS 430 COM1 GPS/NAV/COM (updated)
• ICOM IC-A220 COM2
• Garmin GMA 345 Bluetooth audio panel – music and phone integration with clear intercom control
• Garmin GTX 335 Mode S transponder with ADS-B Out and WAAS position source
• Full ILS, VOR, ADF and DME capability
• 2 × AV-30 electronic flight instruments (uAvionix AV-30) – configurable PFD/HSI, replacing traditional vacuum gyros
• JPI EDM-830 engine data monitor – detailed engine monitoring and fuel management
• Garmin Aera 660 panel-mounted GPS, coupled with Garmin GDL 50R for traffic and weather information

• CO alarm for added cabin safety

This combination delivers a modern, reliable capable panel with excellent situational awareness and engine oversight.

Engine & Airframe

• Engine: Lycoming O-320-H2AD
• Propeller: McCauley 1C160/DTM7557
• Status: effectively a fresh engine

The result is smooth running, strong reliability and the efficiency you’d expect from a 160hp four-cylinder Lycoming – ideal for economical touring and regular flying.

Why G-BOOL Stands Out

• Freshly overhauled Lycoming O-320-H2AD
• Leather interior for a more premium feel
• Dual AV-30 electronic instruments and EDM-830 for modern situational and engine awareness
• ADS-B Out plus traffic/weather via Aera 660 + GDL 50R
• Fully equipped with ILS, VOR, ADF, DME for real-world touring

G-BOOL is the perfect choice when you want a comfortable, well-presented C172 with a modern panel and a freshly built engine, ready for proper mission-focused flying.
