About the Cessna 162 Skycatcher

The Cessna 162 Skycatcher is a two-seat, high-wing, light-sport aircraft (LSA) designed and produced by Cessna between 2009 and 2013. After a controversial history and disappointing sales, Cessna attempted to reclassify it as a primary category aircraft, though this process was not completed. The remaining unsold aircraft were scrapped in 2016. Fuel capacity is estimated based on cruise speed (~136mph), range (470nmi), and fuel weight (144lbs)
