Traditionally a small civil aircraft includes only two types of aircraft. This aircraft is available only to wealthy individuals and light aircraft to be purchased by almost anyone of middle managers. Cessna 152 – this is the available option. Unpretentious in operation, cheap to manufacture and relatively inexpensive.
The common man, the small aircraft is a very strange Association. Most people think of luxury private high-speed turbojet airplanes that you can buy and contain only the most wealthy people on the planet. However, this is misleading.
The Small civilian aircraft involves whole families of aircraft. And, for the most part it is a small aircraft. Cessna 152 – the most successful model.
This aircraft is notable for its elegance and simplicity. It is not complicated. Service it may even a regular mechanic. This model will perfectly fit even in a modest barn. It should be understood that the plane was produced in the 70-ies of the last century exclusively for the Western market. This is a very small plane. Its size is almost the most modest among all aircraft of this class.
For its time the model was a breakthrough. It was superior to all analogues in maneuverability, speed, efficiency, versatility and ease of learning. Thanks to successful engineering solutions, this “baby” just perfect for young drivers. This was evident even at the start of sales, and for this vessel a very long way of life.

The Cessna 152 has found a new use as a training aircraft. It was cheap and unpretentious. Learning to fly on it held most effectively and quickly. The plane was so good that it is used to this day, even though he has long been discont.
Why is it so popular? It's very simple. For all the time it was released about 7600 copies. Today, this plane only costs 35 000$. For aviation it's a penny. In addition, the model was innovative. First, according to its characteristics, it surpasses even the new small planes. Second, the design of its unique. Collecting a small air car, the engineers chose to use the properties of large aircraft. The case is made of aircraft aluminum. All fasteners are completely analogous to the planes of the company «Boeing». Even the controls repeat large aircraft. The cabin has no handles traditional training machines. Instead, there is a real steering wheel.
Cessna 152 weighs about 650 kg and has a closed cabin. Wingspan does not exceed 10,17 meters and engine power is 110 horsepower. The factory engine is too weak, and why many training centers set modern engines that exceed the original power several times. It does not overload the plane and at the same time as increases the maneuverability and maximum speed.
A Big plus is also no need for a concrete runway. Sufficiently prepared ground strip or just a flat field covered in short grass. This is especially true for aviation schools because such an opportunity greatly reduces the cost of equipping a training base.
For training use only double planes. Accordingly, the crew consists of pilot and passenger or pilot and instructor. The chairs are quite comfortable to complete the training process. The instructor can control the student in all phases of flight, but in case you need to take control of the plane.
Many people suffer from aerophobia, afraid to fly. Small civil aviation is even greater fear than larger aircraft. Actually small planes are considered safer. Due to the fact that these aircraft weigh a little planning not only allows you to smoothly sit on a flat surface, but also to change the altitude using the air flow. Even a crash landing will be quite soft.
"Cessna-152" can make a successful crash landing without any damage to the crew. Solid construction and hull material can withstand a lot of damage and effectively dampen the impact energy.
