About the Cessna 152

The Cessna 152 is the Cessna 150's successor — produced 1977-1985 with a Lycoming O-235 (110 hp) and minor refinements over the 150. Slightly better climb and useful load, but the same two-seat trainer mission. The 152 II adds a 28V electrical system; the Aerobat A152 supports aerobatic training. Like the 150, it is one of the most affordable ways to own a certified aircraft.

Produced 1977–1985. Total produced: 7,584.
