N677JA is a beautiful, nearly new 2008 C172S with all the G1000 features you have already become familiar with. Safety awareness tools regarding In-Flight Weather, Traffic, Terrain and XM Music for In-Flight entertainment on the long cross country flights, make this an excellent choice for private training or short trips in the busy local area. The WAAS equipped GPS gives you the choice of ILS or RNAV approaches to the lowest possible minimums during your IFR training and cross country flights. The flight director/autopilot system is a very smooth, all digital system with the most advanced features available in a GA airplane.  It will definitely become another plane you will love to love, just like the owner of this wonderful plane, while flying it locally or on cross countries.
