The Cessna 162 skycatcher is a new light Sport aircraft that is taking sport flying and primary flight training to a new horizon.
This extraordinary new aircraft strikes a perfect balance of efficient innovations, state of the art technology and classic good looks, from its Cessna high wing design and aluminium exterior to its mordern styling.
This aircraft will be RA Aus registered - so get out and see the sights!
Ergonmonic seats combine with armrests on both cabin doors to ensure one comfortable, smooth ride through the sky. The high wing design offers stability, superb visibility and sun blocking. The all new Garmin G300 display will provide primary flight, engine and moving map information in a split screen format. Other standard equipment will include a Garmin SL40 Com radio, Garmin GTX3327 Mode C transponder, VFR GPS and a 406MHz ELT.
