Engine mounts are good for 9 Gs. Somewhere in FAR 23, I think.

FAR 23 might not apply to a 172...it's old enough.


Certainly the 1960 model is old enough. I don't remember, but didn't
Cessna bring the new ones up to FAR 23 standards?

They may have, and it's quite possible they brought stuff like the seats to
FAR-23 to lessen liability risks. But if they were manufacturing on the old TC
they certainly didn't have to....
