Cessna 150G Aircraft

← Cessna 150 family

The Cessna 150G is the 1967 model year of the 150 — Cessna's classic 100-hp Continental O-200 two-seat trainer, from the swept-tail Omni-Vision era of the line (rear wraparound window, introduced 150C onward). Mechanically it matches the rest of the post-1963 150 run (~95-kt cruise, docile handling, very low operating cost), so among 150s the choice is condition, engine time and panel rather than capability. One of the cheapest routes into aircraft ownership and a benchmark primary trainer.

Cessna 150G Price & Cost

Cessna 150G Price Guide

Key price factors: engine time to overhaul, year and airframe hours, avionics, damage history and logbook completeness — see the buying guide below for the full pre-purchase checklist.

Cessna 150G Cost of Ownership estimate
Fuel (5.5 GPH × $6.20, 100 hrs)$3,410/yr
Annual Fixed (hangar, insurance, annual)$9,000/yr
Variable (per hour)$75/hr
Engine Overhaul (every 1,800 hrs)$15,000
Estimates at 100 flight hours/year. Actual costs vary by usage, location and insurance.

The 150G's Continental O-200 burns about 5.5 gph - the lowest fuel burn of any certificated Cessna. Annual inspection costs are among the lowest in the single-engine fleet, and O-200 overhaul cost is modest. Insurance for a two-seat fixed-gear aircraft is minimal. The main discretionary spend is avionics; a 150G with a basic VFR stack is adequate for primary training but may need updating for modern airspace.

Buying a Used Cessna 150G

Buying a Cessna 150G comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

The Cessna 150G (1967) is a two-seat, fixed-gear trainer powered by the Continental O-200 (100 hp), cruising around 97 knots with 420 nm range at about 5.5 gph. It sits in the mature part of the long 150 production run and features the Omni-Vision wraparound rear window, which improves rearward visibility for clearing turns and traffic-pattern awareness.

Two-seat utility, by design. The 150 carries about 530 lbs useful - two average adults and light baggage. It excels as a VFR primary trainer, currency-flying aircraft, and low-cost local flyer; it is not a cross-country tourer or a first-choice instrument platform. Buyers who accept the two-seat mission own them economically for years.

Continental O-200. The O-200-A is simple, reliable, and among the cheapest certificated engines to run - large service network, modest overhaul cost, and the lowest fuel burn of any Cessna. Cylinder health and time-since-overhaul are the standard checks; there are no letter-specific engine complications on the 150G.

Buy it if you want an entry-level certificated Cessna at minimal acquisition and operating cost - for primary training, hangar-affordable ownership, or VFR local flying.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cessna 150G

About the Cessna 150G
The Cessna 150G was produced in 1967, powered by the Continental O-200-A (100 hp) — the engine used throughout the 150's production run. The 150G is a mid-sequence variant with model-year refinements in trim, panel detail, and electrical layout. Performance is identical to all O-200 Cessna 150s: approximately 100–107 kt cruise, two seats, fixed gear.
What distinguishes the 150G from adjacent letters?
Production year and minor refinements — changes to instrument panel arrangement and interior detail. The 150F, 150G, and 150H share the same O-200-A engine and identical performance. Within the 150 family, aircraft condition and engine time are more meaningful purchase criteria than the specific letter.
What to inspect on a used 150G?
Continental O-200-A compression, magnetos, and carburetor. Seat rail AD compliance (a common 150-family AD). On a 55-plus-year-old airframe: corrosion at the spar, control cables, and any non-standard modifications. Full logbook review. A pre-buy by a Continental O-200-familiar shop is recommended.
150G vs 152 — which trainer?
The 152 (Lycoming O-235, 110 hp, from 1977) offers broader overhaul support, better fuel economy, and is the standard for modern flight schools. The 150G is the lower-acquisition-cost option for budget buyers comfortable with the Continental O-200 ecosystem. For practical training use, the 152 is the more supportable choice.
Is the 150G practical today?
For basic VFR training and local flying, yes — the O-200-A is proven and the 150G is simple to operate. The practical constraints are two seats, 100 hp, and vintage age. A well-maintained 150G with a healthy O-200 is a fully capable trainer; a diligent pre-buy is required given its age.
