Compliments Company's Online Sport/Private Pilot Course
Cessna has posted the complete pilot handbook for its new 162
Skycatcher online.
Cessna 162 Skycatcher
“Cessna has produced for the Skycatcher one of the
simplest pilot handbooks I’ve ever seen, and I wanted the
world to see how easy it is to fly this airplane,” said Jack
J. Pelton, Cessna chairman, president and CEO. “For people
considering flight lessons at a Cessna Pilot Center, this document
will take the mystery out of the process. Putting the manual online
is a response to our new customers who prefer electronic access to
just about everything and we’re all about making flying fun
and easy.”
The handbook provides system descriptions and basic operating
parameters. Having it online complements Cessna’s new online
Sport/Private Pilot Course available through Cessna Pilot Centers.
The Skycatcher POH is also available through the course’s
online library. Cessna expects to expand the program to include an
instrument rating course in the future.
The new training program is a key component of Cessna’s
effort to make flying more accessible and to re-energize pilot
training. Another key component is the development of the
company’s new light sport aircraft, the 162 Skycatcher, on
display at the Cessna exhibit during this week’s Experimental
Aircraft Association’s annual week-long conference -
AirVenture 2010.
Customers pursuing the sport certificate have access to all
parts of the Cessna Sport/Private Pilot Course and can easily move
into the private-pilot-only segments of the course when ready. The
Web-based system keeps track of every aspect of their training and
they can access training materials from any location where they
have access to the Internet. And since it is Web-based, changes and
updates can be made instantly, with no replacement materials to
distribute.
Cessna Pilot Centers are independently owned and operated flight
training affiliates that use Cessna’s proprietary training
curriculum and Cessna aircraft. There are more than 280 in the
United States and around the world, offering customers an array of
services including flight training.
