Cessna 172 POH
I’ve been going through my computer lately, trying to do a little housecleaning and organizing of some old files. While browsing through some folders, I stumbled unto a little gem that I thought I would share with you, a digital copy of a Cessna 172 N Model POH in Adobe PDF format! What a nice little find, I felt like I had just put on an old jacket and found a $10 bill in a pocket.
So, this file is now available for immediate download on askacfi.com. Again, this is a 1978 Cessna 172N POH in Abobe PDF format. You can download this now and use for your own personal reference or use it as a training aid for studying performance charts and graphs. You could also use this for helping to brush up on general systems knowledge. This is obviously never to be used in lieu of the required Airplane Flight Manual and is to be used for training / studying only.
I have added this to a new section on askacfi.com simply entitled downloads. I will be adding to this section as I find more files like the C172 POH and others.
Enjoy and download here:

Just happened on this site while I was looking for help with aviation study in ground courses.
I am flying a 172R at the moment i understand it is slightly different but will be a great assistance.
Many Thanks

Hello, I have downloaded the Cessna 172N POH, but I have noticed that there are several missing pages. The equipment list pages 6-14 to 6-23, and the entire Section 8 (Airplane Handling, Service & Maintenance) and Section 9 (Supplements) are missing from the scanned document. Please, could you include these pages in the PDF? Thanks in advance….

I trimmed sections of the C172 POH to cut down on the file size / bandwidth. I might do one of 2 things. 1) Just put the large file and deal with the bandwidth issues later or 2) Make the smaller file free but charge a minimal fee for the larger full version. Hmmmm….

Pretty sure if you start charging for copyrighted material that the publisher might get a little disturbed.
Paul on Feb 17, 2010
Yeah, your probably right. Ok, I’ll try and scan in the remaining sections sometime this weekend and append it to the current download. I’ll leave a comment when it is completed.
Matt on Feb 28, 2010
Looking forward to getting the remaining sections. Thanks.
Lee on Apr 14, 2010
Thanks. I own a C172N and needed a to verify some data quickly without going all the way out to the airport. Nice copy.
Igor on Jun 08, 2010
Paul, are you still going to add missing parts to scanned POH?
John on Jun 11, 2010
What a awesome find! Just when I thought I’d need to fork over another $20+ for this POH, voila! There it is online. Thank you for posting it! j
Chris on Aug 28, 2010
Thanks, Paul. I was wondering how I would manage to get the POH out of the rental plane I use long enough to scan it. You saved me a lot of trouble!
Joe on Aug 29, 2010
I’m looking for the Cessna Pilot Information Manual or the POH for a 172R, 160 HP Lycoming fuel injected engine.
Can anyone help with a .pdf copy?
Joe Sherman on Sep 08, 2010
While it’s great to have access to this manual, it would have been even better to have the complete manual… sections 8 and 9.

THANKS FOR THE POH,,,,IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 1978 AND 1979?
George on Apr 04, 2012
Thanks Paul for posting this free POH on the 172….Just what I was looking for to use on a flight simulater to brush up on my very rusty manuvers before I spend the big money on my check ride.

Glenn Smith on Jan 11, 2023
The download section is now empty, so this wonderful 172 POH is not available here. Does anyone have a copy they could repost or share via email?
Peggy Gordon on Oct 05, 2023
