How To Buy Used Aircraft Parts
March 12, 2010
What are the Uses of Used Aircraft PartsSeveral aircraft owners as well as aero clubs are understood to be a regular purchaser of used Cessna parts. Generally, the airplane owners and aircraft clubs are eager on buying used aircraft parts such as that of a Cessna because they need to use these parts in their own aircrafts. Purchasing used aircraft parts saves their cash and time. In case of the Cessna, it saves them the difficulty of hunting for new parts for the airplane. purchasing used Cessna parts from dealers salvage yards, or maybe online auction saves lots of time for the aeroplane owners. Time is critical in case the aircraft owner has a flight schedule to meet and requires a categorical part immediately. Routinely, the aeroplane owners contact the company for the part it requires. At times the part in question may not be in stock and it might take the company a few weeks to gain it. In such an eventuality, buying a used Cessna part is a good idea. The airplane owner can contact a salvage aircraft parts company and have the part delivered in almost no time. purchasing a second hand Cessna part is also a good way of saving cash. According to Cessna owners, the money spent on the maintenance, repair [*COMMA] as well as upgrades is considerably less than what they would spend on a brand new piece. Aircraft owners can save thousands on dollars by buying used Cessna parts. Not just the critical parts, but purchasing used control surfaces, doors, and seats can also save thousands of bucks for Cessna aircraft owners. there are a few corporations that salvage diverse used parts of aircrafts and stock them. A great number of these used aircraft parts are extremely difficult-to-find. These corporations make such parts and others available to aircraft owners on a short notice. These companies earn big quantities of revenue on the sale of these used aircraft parts, such as used Cessna parts, to other firms, individual aircraft owners, and aero clubs.

Top 3 Reasons To Buy Used Cessna Parts For Your Aircraft
February 25, 2010
We all know that buying used Cessna parts is a good idea for aircraft owners and clubs. The top three reasons to buy used Cessna parts for your aircraft are saving time, saving money, and finding hard to find used Cessna parts. These three reasons are the main reasons to purchase used Cessna parts for your aircraft whether it is new or old.
Saving time is a no brainer. When we need a part, we do not know whether the shop we call will have that part in stock now, or if they will be able to get it very soon even. That creates a problem when we have a flight coming up and we need that part for the aircraft to be ready for the trip. You never know if the company you are calling has the part you are looking for on back order and that may take weeks for them to get the part in before they even get to turn around and send it to you. This is why you want to purchase from a salvage aircraft parts company, because if they sell it for you they are going to go out and get it for you and ship it right away.
The second reason is that you are going to be able to save money buying used Cessna parts. More and more Cessna owners are finding that they can save thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars on the maintenance, repair and upgrades of their aircraft by purchasing used Cessna parts. If you purchase just a few used avionics units or a used engine for your Cessna you will find yourself saving thousands over buying new. There are other parts available as well though. From doors to seats to control surfaces, you can save a ton of money with used Cessna parts for your aircraft.
Salvage aircraft companies tend to have those hard to find parts on hand and readily available if they are worth their salt. By purchasing used Cessna parts from a reputable aircraft salvage yard you increase the chances of getting the hard to find part that you need in a reasonable amount of time. When your parts locator company goes looking for hard to find parts, odds are good they end up finding them at a salvage company in Minneapolis.
Those are the top three reasons to purchase used Cessna parts for your aircraft. Saving time, money and finding the right hard to find parts are things I know I like to do and I am willing to bet you do too.
Getting your wings with a Cessna 172 ? Why is this aircraft better?
February 19, 2010
Around the world the most popular flight training aircraft is a Cessna plane. Beating the other aircrafts hands down, a Cessna plane has stood testament to time and held its ground as one of the most dependable and user friendly airplane in the industry. This is probably why numerous flight training schools around the world have taken it up for imparting pilot training to students. As an aspiring pilot I have been trained on the Cessna 172 and have found it to be extremely accommodating and user-friendly. The most interesting aspect of the Cessna 172 is its incredible civil utility.
Soaring to the skies for the first time in the year 1955, the Cessna has been in production from then on till now. Over the years the Cessna planes have earned their place as the most successful mass produced light aircraft in history of aviation. By 2008, a total of 43,000 Cessna planes had been sold to people around the world. This single engine, high wing, four-seater, fixed wing aircraft has been known to be one of the most efficient options for learning how to fly. Created by the Cessna Aircraft Company, the Cessna 172 has many variants that come with different features, however the most common elements that runs through all the Cessna planes is the ability of the plane to offer absolute ease and convenience to fliers. The ingenuity of the Cessna 172 and its solid design has allowed fliers to soar with greater confidence in the skies.

Aero-TV: Cessna’s Next-Gen CJ – The Citation CJ4 (Part 1)

A Much Upgraded CJ Makes Ready To Enter The Market
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it… how many times have you heard that? Well, as good as that advice might be for most folks, its but an unfair limitation on the folks at Cessna who have a habit of taking perfectly great little airplanes and tweaking them enough to make them remarkably and demonstrably better… as appears to be th case with Cessna’s upcoming CJ4.
The keyword involved with the CJ4 program is “More.” The CJ4 adds a number of aerodynamic enhancements as well as the Williams FJ44-4A engine to amp up the performance benefits numbers. Each of the FJ-44As generates 3,400 pounds of thrust, while the resultant max payload becomes 2100 pounds — with a full-fuel payload of a solid 1000 pounds. At max takeoff weight, the CJ4 will require as little as 3300 feet of runway and only 2665 feet to land.
CJ4s can also climb directly to 45,000 feet in just 28 minutes, and offer up a cruise of 451 knots — putting it solidly in the ‘500-mph club.’ With its NBAA IFR 100 nm reserves, the CJ4 boasts a range of 1963 nm. Like the rest of the CJ pack, the FADEC-augmented bird is designed for eventual single-pilot certification.

Cessna 150 short landing
December 8, 2009
How to land a Cessna 150 properly. Had about a 10kt headwind. I could have stopped a few feet shorter but I was in the right seat and the brake linkage was a bit mushy! I was able to make the first taxiway if you can call it that- not normally used for landing in this direction. If you listen when turning off the tower lady says “nice job!”
Kids- do not try this at home.

ANN Flight Test – Flying Cessna’s Skycatcher
November 18, 2009
Finally… ANN is proud to present the first published flight test data on Cessna’s long-awaited LSA… the C-162 Skycatcher. Worth the wait, the Cessna 162 may be one of Cessna’s very best efforts yet… thoroughly maximizing what it is to be an LSA… while being true to the outstanding stability and control profiles that have been a part and parcel of Cessna’s entry-level aircraft products for many decades.
Right up front, let us tell you, the Skycatcher does NOT disappoint… it is a thoroughly sweet little airplane with great manners, a pleasant aerodynamic profile, as good a performance envelope as LSA regs allow and on top of all that, is just plain fun to fly. In other words, the Skycatcher is one heck of a nice little airplane and a fitting way for Cessna to put its best foot forward in bringing forth a new generation of entry level airplanes. Of particular note is Garmin’s EXCELLENT G300 glass panel, the easily operated and powerful addition of the TCM O-200D and the WIDE comfy cabin. But More than that… its just a sweetie in the air… simple, reasonably fast, agile and with nary the hint of a bad habit. Yeah, we had a ball with the critter.
Cessna’s minions tell ANN that the SkyCatcher is designed from spinner to tail to set the new standard for an entry-level aircraft. Though manufactured as an LSA, the SkyCatcher meets all the required ASTM standards for certification while providing safety, reliability, and utility.
The airplane is equipped with the proprietary Garmin G300 avionics package, and is powered by a composite propeller mated to a Continental O-200D engine developed specifically for the Light Sport market. It also features a 44-inch wide cabin, ergonomic seats, accessible cargo area, and a unique under-panel center stick control. Cessna claims the industry’s most extensive network of dealers and service centers.
