Cessna 152 Aeroplane Experiences

Information About the Cessna 152

There are many reasons why the Cessna 152 is one of the most popular and well loved trainer planes around. Productions of these nifty planes first began back in 1977 in Kansas in the US and continued until 1985. Over that period, around 7,584 were produced worldwide and despite production halting, it's a real testament to the engineering of the plane that they are in constant use today.

Designed as a 2-seater plane for flight training they gained popularity in the US and then in the UK. The 152 is based on the earlier 150 model but includes significant improvements with a more powerful Lycoming O-235 engine and fitted with dual controls - making it an ideal choice for flying lessons. It runs at 110 horsepower at 2,5550 rpm, meaning it can certainly pack a punch in the skies if needed.

Despite production ending in 1985, Cessna 152's are used up and down the country today for flight training at airfields UK wide.

Why Fly in the Cessna 152?

Rather - why not Fly in the Cessna 152? With a simple cockpit design this plane is ideal for those just starting out on their flying journey, or getting back into it after taking some time off. There's good reason these are so widely used for training, and one of them is they are known for being forgiving for those just starting out and highly reliable due to their extensive track records over the years.

Despite it being several decades since the last one was produced, spare parts are regularly available meaning that maintaining these planes is incredibly easy. What's more, the high wing design not only offers good visibility and stability, but also means they can handle basic aerobatics - which is always fun to explore once you've mastered the basics!

But the biggest appeal of all with Cessna 152's is they are relatively cheap to run due to having a low fuel consumption, meaning they are economical for owners and flying schools across the country. This is reflected for you too, as they are one of the more affordable flying experiences available.

With endless experience in the skies, and full of features that make them ideal for learners, what's not to like about the Cessna 152?
