Cessna 172 POH
I’ve been going through my computer lately, trying to do a little housecleaning and organizing of some old files. While browsing through some folders, I stumbled unto a little gem that I thought I would share with you, a digital copy of a Cessna 172 N Model POH in Adobe PDF format! What a nice little find, I felt like I had just put on an old jacket and found a $10 bill in a pocket.
So, this file is now available for immediate download on askacfi.com. Again, this is a 1978 Cessna 172N POH in Abobe PDF format. You can download this now and use for your own personal reference or use it as a training aid for studying performance charts and graphs. You could also use this for helping to brush up on general systems knowledge. This is obviously never to be used in lieu of the required Airplane Flight Manual and is to be used for training / studying only.
I have added this to a new section on askacfi.com simply entitled downloads. I will be adding to this section as I find more files like the C172 POH and others.
Enjoy and download here:
C172N Information Manual (7574)

Wonderful find! I’m a bit of a POH collector, so thanks for uploading this Paul.
This is awesome!
Thanks for posting this. I have to make the switch to the 172 froma 152 to finish my licence and wanted some material to read.
Great resource… Really appreciate you uploading this.

Glad that you guys are enjoying the manual. I’ll be adding some other manuals shortly…stay tuned.
Thanks for the Copy of the C172N POH. Do you have a copy for the C172P, S, or R. in pdf format.

Just happened on this site while I was looking for help with aviation study in ground courses.
I am flying a 172R at the moment i understand it is slightly different but will be a great assistance.
Many Thanks

Hey, really appreciate this. Just acquired one and this was an awesome help amidst all the initial sticker shock. Tailwinds…
WOW – this is just what I was looking for – THANKS!!!
Hello, I have downloaded the Cessna 172N POH, but I have noticed that there are several missing pages. The equipment list pages 6-14 to 6-23, and the entire Section 8 (Airplane Handling, Service & Maintenance) and Section 9 (Supplements) are missing from the scanned document. Please, could you include these pages in the PDF? Thanks in advance….
ditto Jorge above
I trimmed sections of the C172 POH to cut down on the file size / bandwidth. I might do one of 2 things. 1) Just put the large file and deal with the bandwidth issues later or 2) Make the smaller file free but charge a minimal fee for the larger full version. Hmmmm….
Pretty sure if you start charging for copyrighted material that the publisher might get a little disturbed.
Yeah, your probably right. Ok, I’ll try and scan in the remaining sections sometime this weekend and append it to the current download. I’ll leave a comment when it is completed.
Looking forward to getting the remaining sections. Thanks.
