Beyond the figure breakdowns, this Cessna 177RG Illustrated Parts Catalog includes several practical reference tools. The Paint Code Chart provides interior and exterior color codes keyed to year and serial number, letting you match original finishes. The Finish & Trim Plate section explains how to decode the data plate on the aircraft to determine interior color scheme and exterior paint combination. The “How to Order” chapter walks through the correct procedure for ordering parts, including how to specify color, corrosion proofing, and quantity.

The catalog also explains the serial number “usable on” codes that appear throughout the parts listings. Because Cessna changed parts across the 1971-1976 production run, many components are serial-number-specific. This manual tells you which part fits which serial range, so you do not end up with a part that will not install on your airframe. The standard parts section covers hardware items with “S”, “AN”, and “NAS” prefixes, and the numerical index at the back of the catalog lets you look up any part number to find the figure where it appears.

What This Parts Catalog Does for You

With this 177RG Cardinal RG parts catalog PDF, you can:

• Identify every replaceable part on the aircraft by figure and index number
• Find the correct part number for your specific serial number
• See exploded-view illustrations that show how assemblies go together
• Determine which parts are interchangeable and which are serial-number specific
• Decode interior and exterior color codes for ordering upholstery and painted parts
• Cross-reference standard hardware and bulk items
• Verify part numbers before placing an order with a distributor or dealer

This is not a service or repair manual — it is a parts identification and ordering tool. It does not contain maintenance procedures, torque specifications, or troubleshooting flowcharts. What it does contain is the most complete illustrated breakdown of the 177RG available, giving you the exact part numbers and visual references needed to keep a Cardinal RG flying.

Why the Correct Part Number Matters

The 177RG was produced across six model years with running changes to structures, systems, interior trim, and landing gear. Ordering a part without confirming the serial number applicability can result in a component that physically will not fit. This catalog eliminates that guesswork. Each figure lists the parts with their usable-on codes, and the serial listings at the end of each figure tell you exactly which aircraft the part applies to. For anyone maintaining or restoring a Cardinal RG, this level of detail is the difference between a one-time correct order and a costly return.
