16 August 2019: Continental Aerospace Technologies introduces a new STC to install a Prime IO-370-DA3A engine into Cessna R and S series C172s. The economical, fuel-injected 4-cylinder power-plant is a cost-effective option to change the original engine at TBO for 180 horsepower Cessna 172 R & S models.
The Prime IO-370-DA3A delivers 180 HP which includes roller tappets and comes with a recommended TBO of 2,200 hours that extends to 2,400 hours for high utilisation aircraft. The STC contains the engine, a Bendix impulse coupled ignition system to give improved starting and reduced magneto maintenance, a starter, fuel system and associated STC paperwork to complete the installation on Cessna 172s which is presently using a Lycoming IO-360-L2A engine. The STC launch list price for factory-new replacement engines is US$ 28,226.
"As always, we are committed to bring more value to general aviation. Our Prime IO-370 is a factory NEW engine with a factory-new engine warranty, priced at a point that makes you wonder why you would overhaul your current engine.

This is why we fly with you," said Chris Kuehn, Vice-President Sales, Marketing and Customer Support, Continental.
