Our Primary and Instrument training aircraft, Four November Alpha is a very clean, well-maintained version of the most widely produced Skyhawk which has been a single owner aircraft since 1984. It is not the same Skyhawk that came from Wichita in 1977.

​

Pluses:

• a 180 horsepower conversion replacing the stock 160 HP engine. This gives 4NA about double the climb rate and slightly faster speeds.

• a gross weight increase from 2300 pounds to 2550 pounds. Makes it a C182 ‘light’ and a true 4 passenger aircraft with full fuel tanks.

• Completely repainted with Imron and a new interior in 1990.

• Garmin 430 WAAS GPS equipped, giving precision capability instrument approaches to most airports.

• Goodyear stormscope / strikefinder for lightning detection.

• S-TEC, System 20 autopilot.

• PS Engineering 1000, 4-place intercom.

• Rosen see through sun visors, the industries best.

• Improved instrument and panel lighting for night operations.

• LED landing and taxi lights which are super bright and practically ‘break-proof.”

• excellent interior and exterior, constantly maintained.

• all new glass.

• additional insulation for warmth and quieter travel.

• air leaks sealed so quieter and warmer inside.

​

Future Improvements:

• Plans are to put in an HSI and GPSS steering to bring it more up to date with current capabilities in newer aircraft.
