← Cessna 150 family

The Cessna 150M is the final 150 (1975-1977) — the last and most refined of Cessna's 100-hp Continental O-200 two-seat trainers before the 152 replaced it. It carries minor late refinements over earlier 150s but the same docile handling, ~95-kt cruise and low operating cost. For buyers choosing among 150s the M is the newest airframe in the line; otherwise the decision is condition and price.

Cessna 150M 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 150M Cost of Ownership estimate
Fuel (6.0 GPH × $6.20, 100 hrs)$3,720/yr
Annual Fixed (hangar, insurance, annual)$15,000/yr
Variable (per hour)$100/hr
Engine Overhaul (every 1,800 hrs)$25,000
Estimates at 100 flight hours/year. Actual costs vary by usage, location and insurance.

The 150M's appeal is low cost — as the final 150, a 100-hp Continental O-200 with simple systems and a huge parts network. Engine time and an ex-trainer, high-cycle airframe's condition (corrosion, logbooks) drive value more than the modest asking price.

Buying a Used Cessna 150M

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

What to check before buying

The Cessna 150M is the final Cessna 150 (1975-1977) before the line became the 152 - a two-seat, fixed-gear trainer with a 100-hp Continental O-200 and cruise around 95 knots. It offers the 150's core appeal: low operating cost, forgiving handling and unmatched parts and instructor familiarity, with the usual two-seat payload and performance limits. For buyers the 150M is mostly a condition-and-value decision - engine time, corrosion, seat-rail AD compliance and logs matter far more than the letter suffix. Against a 152 it is the older, usually cheaper choice; against a 172 it is far more economical but far more limited.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cessna 150M

What is the Cessna 150M?

How much does a Cessna 150M cost?
The 150 is one of the most affordable certified aircraft. Used 150M prices depend on condition, engine time and avionics. See the live price range and median above.
What engine does the Cessna 150M use?
A 100-horsepower Continental O-200. Engine time since overhaul is a key value factor.
What is the Cessna 150M cruise speed and range?
The 150M cruises around 100 knots with a typical range of roughly 350 to 420 nautical miles, depending on fuel and load.
How many seats does a Cessna 150M have?
Two, side by side.
What is the difference between the Cessna 150 and 152?
The 152 is the direct successor to the 150, with a more powerful Lycoming O-235 engine. The 150M is the last of the 150 line and uses the Continental O-200.
Is the Cessna 150M still in production?
No — 150 production ended in 1977, when the 152 succeeded it. A large used fleet and parts network keep the 150 well supported.
