PacTex Aviation and Stephanie are proud to present N1782F, a 1966 Cessna 172H. 

 

This versatile and upgraded aircraft combines classic Cessna simplicity with modern avionics, impressive STOL capability, and a rugged tailwheel conversion. With only 5,460 hours total time, 502 hours SMOH on the engine, and just 72 hours since new on the propeller, this airplane is mechanically solid. 

 

The panel has been fully modernized with a Garmin GNS-530W with FlightStream 210, dual Garmin G5s with GAD 13 interface, Garmin Aera 660 with GDL 52 ADS-B In, uAvionix TailBeacon ADS-B Out, Garmin GMA 340 audio panel, Garmin GTR225 Comm, and Garmin GTX 327 transponder. Backup instrumentation includes a uAvionix AV-30-C Primary Flight Display. For ease of operation, the airplane also features a TruTrak Autopilot and an Electronics International CGR-30P Digital Engine Monitor.

 

Extensive performance and safety upgrades make this aircraft stand out, including a Bolen tailwheel conversion, Sportsman STOL kit, Micro AeroDynamics vortex generators, seaplane kit, LED lighting, and BAS Inc. shoulder harnesses, tail pull handles, Rosen sunshades, and door stewards. 

 

This aircraft has been meticulously maintained, hangared, and is kept current with an annual completed June 2025. Whether you’re seeking a capable backcountry performer or a well-equipped trainer, this 172H delivers reliability, versatility, and modern avionics in a proven airframe.
