Ab Initio Primary Trainer, PPL, Night, IMC, Hour Building
These are the latest production models (M series) of the well-proven Cessna 150, the second most produced aircraft in the world. (First place goes to the Cessna 172.) The Cessna 150 is rugged, safe, and easy to fly. It is quite possible that more pilots have been trained in the Cessna 150 than in any other aircraft. We own ten Cessna 150 aircraft, including two Aerobat models, and also three of the Cessna 152 models with Lycoming engines. All our aircraft are maintained to stringent FAA commercial aircraft standards which require a full and comprehensive inspection every 100 flight hours.
