172N: Lycoming O-320-H2AD, 172P: Lycoming O-320-D2J, 172R and 172S: Lycoming IO-360-L2A (FAA TCDS 3A12 Rev. 89; EASA TCDS IM.A.051 Iss. 11).

What is the maximum take-off weight of the Cessna 172?

Per variant and category: 172N normal 2,300 lb, 172P normal 2,400 lb (FAA TCDS 3A12 Rev. 89); 172R normal 1,111.30 kg, 1,156.66 kg with MK172-72-01; 172S normal 1,156.66 kg (EASA TCDS IM.A.051 Iss. 11). Where the certificate lists several weights, we show them all.

How many seats does the Cessna 172 have?
