Featuring the recognizable markings of the Hamburg-Uetersen based aircraft, this package is designed for the default Microsoft Flight Simulator X Skyhawk model and maintains the classic profile evident on many student and private flights around Germany.

Air Hamburg’s Signature Design for a Trusted Airframe

This repaint highlights the airline’s real-world livery used on their training and charter Cessna 172, an iconic single-engine trainer admired for its stable flight characteristics and efficient 160-horsepower powerplant. Air Hamburg, a well-established operator in the region, uses Hamburg-Uetersen (EDHE) as a base for local flights and pilot instruction, making this repaint ideal for simulation pilots who want to replicate genuine general aviation operations around northern Germany.

Die meisten Piloten haben zumindest einige Flugstunden in einer Cessna 172 verbracht, da sie bei Flugzeugvermietungen und in Flugschulen am häufigsten zum Einsatz kommt. Seit der Fertigstellung des ersten Prototyps im Jahre 1955 wurden über 35.000 Exemplare der C172 hergestellt. Sie ist demzufolge das beliebteste einmotorige Flugzeug der Welt. Als eines der ersten Cessna-Flugzeuge mit Bugradfahrwerk wurde die 172 schnell von immer mehr Geschäftspiloten bevorzugt. Ihre Zuverlässigkeit und einfache Bedienung (verbunden mit durchdachter Konstruktion und strukturellen Neuerungen) haben ihr seit Jahrzehnten eine gleichbleibende Beliebtheit gesichert.
