Frequently Asked Questions — Cessna
Who makes Cessna aircraft, and is the company still in business?
Cessna was founded in 1927 by Clyde Cessna in Wichita, Kansas. It is now part of Textron Aviation and is still very much in business — it continues to build the 172 Skyhawk, 182 Skylane, Turbo Stationair, the Caravan turboprop and the Citation business-jet line.
What are the most popular Cessna models?
The 172 Skyhawk is the most-produced aircraft in history (more than 44,000 built). Other mainstays are the 182 Skylane, the 150/152 trainers, the high-performance 210 Centurion, the 206 Stationair utility single, the Caravan turboprop and the Citation jets.
How reliable and safe are Cessna aircraft?
Cessna is the most widely flown general-aviation brand in the world. Its high-wing singles are known for being stable, forgiving and easy to maintain, with the largest support and parts network of any manufacturer. As always, condition, engine time and maintenance history matter most on any used aircraft.
What is the cheapest Cessna to buy and own?
The two-seat 150 and 152 trainers are the lowest-cost way into Cessna ownership, with simple systems and modest fuel burn. Operating cost still depends on engine time to overhaul, avionics and overall condition more than the purchase price.
Are the Cessna 172 and 182 still in production?
Yes. Textron Aviation still builds the 172 Skyhawk and the turbocharged 182 Skylane (T182T), alongside the Turbo Stationair, the Caravan turboprop and the Citation jets.
Should I choose a single-engine or twin Cessna?
Single-engine Cessnas (172, 182, 206, 210) offer the lowest operating cost and the simplest ownership. The piston twins (310, 340, 414, 421) add a second engine for redundancy and payload — the 340/414/421 are pressurised — at meaningfully higher fuel, maintenance and insurance cost. The Caravan steps up to a single turbine.
What is the difference between Cessna pistons and Citation jets?
The Cessna brand covers the piston singles and twins plus the single-engine Caravan turboprop. Citation is Cessna's business-jet family (CJ, M2, Excel/XLS, Sovereign, Citation X, Latitude/Longitude). Both are built by Textron Aviation; on this site Citations are grouped under their own Citation hub.
Are Cessna parts and maintenance easy to find?
Yes — Cessna has by far the largest installed fleet in general aviation, so parts, service centres and type-experienced mechanics are widely available and competitively priced compared with rarer types. This is one of the main reasons the brand holds its value.
What is the best Cessna for training, travel or utility?
For training, the 150/152 or the 172 Skyhawk. For four-seat cross-country travel, the more powerful 182 Skylane. For hauling people and cargo, the six-seat 206 Stationair. For serious utility, float or cargo work, the Caravan turboprop.
How do I choose the right Cessna for me?
Match the aircraft to your mission: a 150/152 or 172 to learn and build time, a 182 for faster travel, a 206 for load-hauling, a 210 for speed, a twin for redundancy, or a Caravan/Citation for turbine performance. Compare prices, specs, operating costs and listings for each family in the tables above.
