Test Pilot Kirby Ortega Discusses the Advantages of Cessna's New LSA At the 2009 AOPA Summit, attendees experienced an up-close encounter with Cessnas newest aircraft to enter the LSA market. Since the announcement of the 162 Skycatcher program in 2007, Cessna has received over 1000 orders. A two-place, single-engine piston, high-wing aircraft, the Skycatcher is a strong contender in the training market. Powered by the Continental O-200D 100-hp engine, the 162 Skycatcher weighs in at an extremely light 830 pounds empty weight, 280 pounds less than the 150. As a result, the aircraft features a cruise speed up to 118 knots and a maximum range of 470 nautical miles. After departing from San Diego's King Schools, where the first production-conforming Skycatcher had been stationed during the development of Cessna's pilot training curriculum, Chief Test Pilot Kirby Ortega flew the aircraft to Tampa, Florida. The three-day journey allowed Ortega to become more familiar with the aircraft's handling and features, including the all-new Garmin G300 avionics system. With the increase in situational awareness and decrease in heads-down time, the G300 provides a great educational advantage for both students and instructors alike. The 162 arrived at the AOPA Summit as part of Cessna's demonstration of its new Internet-based flight training software, available through Cessna's Pilot Center network and developed in conjunction with Kings Schools. The web-training program, coupled with the ...

Finally... ANN is proud to present the first published flight test data on Cessna's long-awaited LSA... the C-162 Skycatcher. Worth the wait, the Cessna 162 may be one of Cessna's very best efforts yet... thoroughly maximizing what it is to be an LSA... while being true to the outstanding stability and control profiles that have been a part and parcel of Cessna's entry-level aircraft products for many decades. Right up front, let us tell you, the Skycatcher does NOT disappoint... it is a thoroughly sweet little airplane with great manners, a pleasant aerodynamic profile, as good a performance envelope as LSA regs allow and on top of all that, is just plain fun to fly. In other words, the Skycatcher is one heck of a nice little airplane and a fitting way for Cessna to put its best foot forward in bringing forth a new generation of entry level airplanes. Of particular note is Garmin's EXCELLENT G300 glass panel, the easily operated and powerful addition of the TCM O-200D and the WIDE comfy cabin. But More than that... its just a sweetie in the air... simple, reasonably fast, agile and with nary the hint of a bad habit. Yeah, we had a ball with the critter. Cessna's minions tell ANN that the skycatcher is designed from spinner to tail to set the new standard for an entry-level aircraft. Though manufactured as an LSA, the skycatcher meets all the required ASTM standards for certification while providing safety, reliability, and utility. The airplane is equipped with the ...

Jack Pelton Has A Fascinating Conversation With Aero-TV Continuing with yesterday's coverage of Jack Pelton's speech to the AEA 2009 Tradeshow and Convention, we're pleased to present a more in-depth, one-on-one interview with Pelton, later that day. Jack talked about everything... the Piston line, SkyCatcher, Columbus, Citation updates and upgrades... but it was his campaign to restore some truth and respect to the perception of the aviation world that really animated the man. The Cessna campaign to fight the anti-aviation hysteria around the nation that has the rest of aviation applauding Pelton. Regardless of how you feel about corporate America right now, in this age of federal (taxpayer-funded) bailouts and billions of dollars allocated for "stimulus" funding...
Jack Defends Aviation and Defines A Proper Response For Our Critics Say what you will, but these days Cessna CEO and C-195 aficionado, Jack Pelton, is a man with a mission. Sick and tired of watching an industry he loves victimized by misinformation and prejudice, Jack has come out swinging... and the man knows how to take on his foes. At the recently concluded AEA 2009 Convention and tradeshow, Jack was a featured speaker. He spoke to attendees about Weathering the Storm, and received a very positive response from an admittedly sympathetic crowd. But its the Cessna campaign to fight the anti-aviation hysteria around the nation that has the rest of aviation applauding Pelton. Regardless of how you feel about corporate America right now, in this age of federal (taxpayer-funded) bailouts and billions of dollars allocated for "stimulus" funding...
The Cessna Aircraft Company is an airplane manufacturing corporation headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, USA. Their main products are general aviation aircraft. Although they are the most well-known for their small, piston-powered aircraft, they also produce business jets. The company is a subsidiary of the US conglomerate Textron. The company traces its history to June 1911, when Clyde Cessna, a farmer in Rago, Kansas, built a wood-and-fabric plane and became the first person to build and fly an aircraft between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. Clyde Cessna started his aircraft ventures in Enid, Oklahoma, testing many of his early planes on the salt flats. When bankers in Enid refused to loan him more money to build his planes, he moved to Wichita. In 1924, Cessna partnered with Lloyd C. Stearman and Walter H. Beech to form the Travel Air, Inc., a biplane manufacturing firm. This company was based in Wichita. In 1927, Clyde Cessna left Travel Air and formed his own company, the Cessna Aircraft Company. Instead of producing biplanes, he instead decided to focus on building monoplanes. The first flew on August 13, 1927. Cessna Aircraft Company closed its doors from 1932 until 1934 due to the state of the economy. In 1934, Dwane Wallace, with the help of his brother Dwight, took control of the company and began the process of building it into what would become a global success. After World War II, Cessna created the 170, which, along with later models (notably the 172), became the most widely produced light aircraft in history. Cessna's advertising boasts that it has delivered more aircraft than any other company, over 190000 by the end of 2008. In 1972 Cessna became the first aircraft manufacturer in the world to build 100000 aircraft. The 100000th aircraft was one of 24 Cessnas of various models displayed at Transpo 72. In 1985 Cessna was bought by General Dynamics Corporation and in 1986 production of piston-engine aircraft was suspended. General Dynamics cited product liability as the cause. The then-CEO Russ Meyer said that production would resume if a more favorable product liability environment developed. In 1992, Textron Inc. bought Cessna and, after passage of the General Aviation Revitalization Act of 1994, resumed production of the piston-engine 172, 182, and 206 designs. On 27 November, 2007, Textron announced that Cessna had purchased the bankrupt Columbia Aircraft company for US$26.4M and would continue production of the Columbia 350 and 400 as the Cessna 350 and Cessna 400 at the Columbia factory in Bend, Oregon. There had been speculation that the acquisition of the Columbia line would spell the end of the Cessna NGP project, but on September 26, 2007, Cessna Vice President for Sales, Roger Whyte, confirmed that development of the NGP project will continue, unaffected by the purchase of Columbia. Since November 2007, the company has been involved in a public controversy regarding the contracting of production of the Cessna 162 skycatcher to the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation of the People's Republic of China. Currently, Cessna produces 2-, 4- and 6-place single-engine airplanes, utility turboprops, and business jets.
Intriguing Oshkosh Interview Updates skycatcher, Columbus, C350/400... and More! One of the more enjoyable aspects of doing the "Oshkosh Crawl" is the chance to catch up with the movers and shakers of aviation. And few of those movers and shakers seem to have as much to be happy about as Cessna CEO Jack Pelton, who is leading some of the industry's most watched programs. It was a good week for Cessna... Just a year after the bird's intro, Cessna unveiled the first production Model 162 skycatcher light sport aircraft, complete with a production interior, as the event got underway. The unveiling comes one year from the date, and at the same venue where Cessna officially launched the light sport aircraft program. Since the launch, Cessna has taken orders for more than 1000 skycatchers and completed three airframes for the program's development. Cessna says the 162 prototype and the first production aircraft have accumulated more than 90 hours for ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) flight testing, which will be completed later this year. A third airframe serves as an ASTM test article and has started static testing. The primarily aluminum aircraft will meet ASTM standard F2245 for the light sport category. Pelton also updated progress on their "BIG JET" Columbus program. Columbus is the company's newest and largest variant of the Citation business jet line. Pelton reports excellent progress on t he program, even better sales activity (some 50% of which is foreign...), and that the effort to bring this aircraft to market is an extensive one. On the Cessna 350 and 400 front, Pelton reports that the airplane seems to be impressing them in that the aircraft is "even better" than they had first thought and that as they learn more about the aircraft, that it will become a more visible part of their marketing efforts. All in all, 2008 is being fairly kind to Cessna, while other players in the industry are dealing with less than sterling scenarios. Join Aero-TV As We Spend ...

Let's Take a Good Long Look At An Exciting LSA offering... From An Industry Heavyweight With industry heavyweights Cirrus Design and Cessna Aircraft now firmly committed to the LSA market, the future for the entry level of aviation appears to be a bit more "sure" than it has been in many a moon. Our series on the Cirrus Design SRS took a long look at that exciting entry, but now it's time to take an equally thorough look at Cessna's skycatcher program... as well as its controversial decision to do some major assembly work in China. ann's Aero-TV crews have been following this program since its inception and have put together an extensive look at the skycatcher, its cockpit, the market, future training issues and (of course), the China decision. In Part One, Aero-TV brings you to the initial announcements that took the wraps off the Continental O-200D powered skycatcher... right from the grounds of Oshkosh 2007. Part Two covers the amazing new cockpit offered for this aircraft... a brand new Garmin glass-panel system, with details provided by none other than Garmin's Gary Kelley. In Part Three, Aero-TV chats up some of the industry's experts as to the portent implied by Cessna's aggressive entry into the LSA market... with comments from John and Martha King, EAA Prez Tom Poberezny... and the guy who "gets to take the blame, Cessna CEO Jack Pelton. Finally, we have a recent interview that takes a look at Cessna's decisions in regards to their announcement that the will put a fair amount of assembly of this little bird in China... an interview that took place entirely inside the skycatcher's surprisingly roomy cabin. And, before we forget... stick around for Friday's programming -- in which Teledyne-Continental's irrepressible Mac Little talks about the new and surprisingly lighter Continental O-200D... an engine that's getting ready to make aviation history -- again.

While Cessna's C-162 skycatcher was first shown to the public as a Rotax powered vehicle, the ultimate powerplant selection by Cessna dictated that the front end be filled by a powerplant well-known to Cessna flyers the world over -- the Teledyne Continental O-200... and not just any O-200, but a new variant, this one lighter and updated to current needs, called the O-200D. The Proof-Of-Concept bird first flew with a 100-hp Continental O-200 engine on Aug. 17, 2007, just a few days aftwer the final configuration was unveiled to the world on the grounds of Oshkosh 2007. Cessna explained that the TCM O-200D was selected due to perceived "advantages in operations, warranty and maintenance." The Teledyne Continental Motors O-200D is an aircooled, horizontally opposed, four cylinder, naturally aspirated, spark ignited, four stroke, direct drive engine incorporating a wet sump, updraft intake, carburetor, and down draft tuned exhaust system. The engine is designed with the capability to operate on 100LL aviation fuel, has been lightened by some 25 pounds over previous iterations, and has a maximum continuous rating of 100 hp at 2800 RPM with a compression ratio of 8.5:1. The time between overhaul is 2000 hours or 12 years, whichever occurs first. Expected fuel efficiency will enable the skycatcher to achieve an average fuel consumption of less than six gallons per hour. The Cessna installation will drive a two-bladed fixed-pitch composite propeller. FMI: www.tcmlink.com Copyright 2008, Aero-News Network, Inc., ALL Rights Reserved.
