Yingling follows a proven and well-defined system for identifying and acquiring suitable aircraft for inclusion in the Ascend 172 program. It’s a comprehensive and rigorous process that includes extensive disassembly, inspections, replacement of old parts with new ones, overhauls (including the engine, propeller and landing gear), renovations and updates that amount to a virtual transformation. The Ascend 172 remanufacture is far more than some new paint and radios. Yingling will also extend to the Purchaser any applicable product warranties provided by manufacturers or suppliers of applicable component parts installed on the aircraft. These warranties will apply as long as the aircraft is repaired at a Yingling Aviation Authorized Service Facility. Yingling’s decision to remanufacture 172s is consistent with AOPA’s ”Reimagined Aircraft” concept because the airplanes are dependable, simple to maintain, inexpensive to operate, widely available, familiar and fun to fly.Įach Ascend 172 will be delivered to the original Purchaser with a 1-year or 200 tach hour warranty (whichever occurs first) on the workmanship and hardware.

The company has developed countless repair schemes and maintenance programs that are used all over, often by collaborating with Cessna’s product support teams who are located right across the runway from us, so our corporate culture is one that identifies challenges and develops responses to them.
