Weight Increase For Skyhawk N Model Now Available Through Power Flow

STC Approved

Power Flow Systems, manufacturers of the Power Flow Tuned Exhaust, has received FAA approval for an STC that increases the gross weight of the C172N model with the 0-320 engines. The only requirement is installing a cowl cooling lip and limiting flap travel to 30 degrees.

With the additional 100 pounds, owners can plan on taking an additional 15 gallons of fuel, or an extra passenger or additional baggage.

In its original configuration, the STC would have required relocation of the oil cooler, with about $1,500 worth of compliance costs, but all that has been eliminated with the revised STC.
"You do not have to install a Power Flow Exhaust System to comply with the STC," said General Manager Darren Tilman. "However, doing so, would certainly enhance the performance of the popular N model. With the gross weight increase the C172N is now comparable with the C172P model in terms of useful load."

The cost of the gross weight increase STC is $300.
