Cessna POH question

[K902]

Does anyone know of any major differences between a 1978 and 1979 Cessna 172N POH? As far as student training would be concerned? Thanks!

In general I don't think there are any major differences assuming the two aircraft are similarly equipped.

Differences in avionics will be way more than anything else. None of that is in the POH anyway

Sure it is. Not in a generic PIM but avionics supplements are standard in a POH.

Meant to say that over the years, it is likely that the nav/radios are probably not original or in a non-official POH copy

True enough. POH vs PIM is one of my "semantic police" pet peeves.

Usually supplements for aftermarket avionics (or for aftermarket everything, really) are required to be posted to to the AFM/POH as applicable. I have found that to be often not the case.

If my memory serves me correctly the 78 model was when Cessna went to 28 volt system and flaps approach speed went 110. I think.

I've flown a lot of 1979-80 172Ns and there seems to be virtually no difference. How to use the radios/intercom is always the biggest hurdle.
