The
New Cessna SkyCatcher
Proclaiming Cessna’s interest in
continuing to teach the world to fly, Jack Pelton, Cessna Chairman, President
and CEO, introduced the Cessna Model 162 SkyCatcher to a large and
enthusiastic crowd Monday at the opening of the annual Experimental
Aircraft Association convention in Oshkosh, Wis. Pelton and EAA President
Tom Poberezny, did the honors in the ribbon-cutting
session that both opened Cessna’s exhibit and opened a new
chapter in aviation history as the world’s leading general aviation
manufacturer became an official member of the light sport aircraft
business.
The new Cessna SkyCatcher
is a high-wing, two-seat plane constructed primarily of aluminum with
some composites in the airframe. The interior is replete with carbon-fiber
seats that are fixed in place, with rudder pedals that adjust fore and
aft to accommodate different pilots. The avionics system is a new
Garmin G300 all-glass panel developed especially for the SkyCatcher.
All flight instrumentation, engine instrumentation, and a moving
map are presented through a single display panel. A Garmin SL40 com
transceiver, GTX327 Mode C transponder, VFR GPS, and a 121.5 MHz
ELT round out the standard avionics complement. The cockpit also
features dual panel-mounted control sticks. The SkyCatcher will be
capable of visual flight rules/day/night operations.
