Cessna 152

Aircraft Summary

The Cessna 152 is an American built two seat, high wing single engine aircraft with fixed tricycle undercarriage.  It is powered by a 110HP 4 cylinder Lycoming engine. 

The Cessna 152 is without a doubt one of the most popular training aircraft of all time. As the successor to the Cessna 150 of which over 23,000 were made, it brought more power, a revised fuel and electrical system and an increase in gross weight.

Students love learning to fly in a Cessna 152, and at Basair we use the Cessna 152 as the starting point for all our new full time students.  It is slower than the other aircraft in the fleet, so students have more time to prepare for manoeuvres.  Its high-wing design also gives it exceptional stability in the air.
