Cessna 172N TC-EHO at a glance

Listing checked on 4 October 2026. The time figures above follow the seller’s detailed aircraft description, with decimal commas converted to decimal points. Use the current logbooks to establish the basis and date of each reading. Confirm availability and the final quotation directly.

A familiar aircraft shape to explore in person

The actual gallery shows a strut-braced high wing, a single nose-mounted propeller and fixed tricycle landing gear. The white exterior carries red and grey detailing, with the registration visible on the fuselage.

For a viewing, start with a walk around the aircraft and an introduction to its identification documents. This connects the gallery to the specific aircraft, equipment and records included in the sale.

Consider your intended use before you book. Private flying, flying-club ownership and training enquiries each benefit from a clear description of the journeys, operating base and people involved. Discuss the proposed use with qualified aviation professionals using this aircraft’s approved documentation and current status.

The diesel configuration: make the documentation part of the conversation

The offer identifies the aircraft as diesel-powered. Ask the seller for the installed engine’s manufacturer, model and serial number, together with the installation records and applicable flight-manual supplements.

Those documents provide the practical foundation for discussing approved fuel, operating procedures, maintenance requirements and flight planning. Your pilot and maintenance provider can then review the exact configuration being offered.

Plan a useful ownership handover

Request the operating manuals, maintenance contacts and equipment inventory as one package. Bring your intended maintenance provider into the records discussion so the handover can cover the servicing arrangements relevant to your operating base.

Explore the actual cockpit and cabin

The seller’s cockpit photographs show round instruments, a central avionics stack and dual control yokes. The cabin photographs provide a view of the seating and a separate baggage area.

Use these images to prepare a focused walkthrough: ask the seller to identify the installed radios, navigation equipment and controls, then match that inventory to the supplied documentation.

For the cabin, bring your passenger and baggage plans to the appointment. Review the seating, access and storage with the aircraft’s current weight-and-balance information and approved loading limits.

Read the aircraft hours as separate records

Airframe, engine, propeller and tachometer figures describe different aspects of the aircraft’s recorded use. Keep the four seller figures separate when preparing your enquiry.

Ask the seller to show the associated entries and explain what each figure represents. Have an appropriately qualified aircraft maintenance professional review the component identities, recorded work and applicable maintenance requirements.

A shared set of records helps your pilot, maintenance provider and purchasing team discuss the same aircraft configuration. It also supports a clear inventory of the documents and equipment supplied at handover.

Photographs and a video walkthrough

The listing has fifteen photographs. No publicly linked video was found in the advertisement reviewed for this article.

Request a recent video that shows the registration, exterior, cockpit and cabin in one sequence. Tell the seller which details you want to explore so the walkthrough supports your viewing preparation. Arrange any technical demonstration or flight with qualified aviation personnel under the applicable procedures.

Bring the purchase details together

Request a written quotation identifying the aircraft, supplied equipment, records, applicable tax treatment and agreed handover arrangements.

The seller states that registration documents are ready for Europe and other countries. Share your destination, and have the relevant aviation professionals and authorities confirm the requirements for your particular transaction.

Agree the viewing location before travelling. For delivery, discuss the proposed method, responsibilities, timing and documents with the seller and your aviation adviser.
