What will I Fly?
 

Your classroom will be the Cessna Skyhawk. It's a joy to fly – in fact, it's the most popular airplane ever made. You'll have several at your disposal for rental during, and after, your training.
The Skyhawk can comfortably carry a pilot and 3 passengers. Estimated cruise speed of up to 140 mph, thanks to a 180-hp engine. It has an endurance up to 4 hours plus the necessary reserves. It's 27 feet long, more than 8 feet tall, weighs 2,500 pounds fully loaded, and has a wingspan of 36 feet.

On the inside, the Skyhawk offers a 360-degree view out of its tinted windows. A full complement of communication and navigation radios that allows a properly trained pilot to fly trips in nearly all kinds of weather, at any time of day.
