What Aircraft Will I Fly?

Your classroom will be the Cessna Skyhawk. It's a joy to fly. In fact, it's the most popular airplane ever made. Several of these aircraft are available at North Florida Flight Traning for use throughout your training and, after earning your pilot’s license, you may rent the aircraft for personal use.

The Skyhawk will comfortably carry two adults and their luggage at a pulse-quickening 140 mph, thanks to a 180-hp engine, and it can fly for 800 miles without stopping. It's 27 feet long, more than 8 feet tall, weighs 2,450 pounds fully loaded, and has a wingspan of 36 feet.

On the inside, the Skyhawk offers a 360-degree view out of its tinted windows. The cabin is quiet and sound-proof. A full complement of communication and navigation radios allows a properly trained pilot to fly trips in nearly all kinds of weather, at any time of day.
