The Cessna 162 SkyCatcher is a modern, affordably priced flight trainer.
It features advanced avionics, specifically the Garmin G300 system, which includes a primary flight display and VFR-only GPS navigation.
Key design elements include a ventral fin for improved stall recovery, a unique under-panel flight control stick system, and gull-wing doors for easy entry.

The G300 is a full primary flight display (PFD) with electronic gyros and air data computer. It also contains a VFR-only GPS navigator and a database of airports and the airspace system.CessnaThe unique flight control stick system in the 162 places the grip directly ahead of each pilot, but the entire mechanism is mounted under the instrument panel so nothing extends to the floor.
