Honestly, it's a 172. Even with the 172R or 172S/SP models with the injection, they are still super simple and I honestly think it would be a waste of money unless you have a student that has an apparent learning problem that maybe the visual aids can fix. Personally that is your job as the instructor to determine, but you should also be able to find a cheaper and more practical means of doing so(IE The POH and a chalk-board). Still having problems, then the trouble student should purchase their own version of the program if it comes to that. Just my 2 cents, it's a 172, not a sophisticated and complicated jet/turbo-prop with dozens of systems.
