AVIA's fleet can train at all levels

• Beginners can appreciate the easy handling and low gas consumption of our 152s.

• Our 172s test a more experienced pilot in rough weather flight without reducing safety.

• The 172RG helps a pilot master added power and aeronautical complexity.

Cessna 152

Cessna 152
The Cessna 152 represents the industry's best trainer. For safety, its design helps guard against stalls and aids in climbing (able to make steep climbs at 55 knots). For performance, the metal two-seater can fly for five hours on 37.5 gallons of fuel and has a range of about 500 nautical miles. With safety and performance combined, the 152 is still the standard for pilot training.

 

Cessna 172

Cessna 172
Nicknamed the "Skyhawk," the Cessna 172 is an excellent all-weather plane that's built for safety. Its Textron-Lycoming engine produces 160 horsepower. Between 1955 and 1986, Cessna built 36,000 172s, making the Skyhawk one of the most popular private airplanes around.

Cessna 172RG
The Cessna 172 RG is reserved for advanced training at AVIA because of its added power and functionality. The 172RG is basically a 172 with retractable landing gear, a constant speed propeller, and a more powerful, 180 horsepower engine. Even filled to capacity with cargo and fuel, the 172RG can maintain cruising speeds of 130 nautical miles per hour.
