Cessna 162

The Cessna 162 Skycatcher is an American side-by-side two-seat, high-wing, strut-braced, tricycle gear light-sport aircraft that was designed and produced by Cessna between December 2009 and December 2013. It is the most recently introduced aircraft in the company's general aviation product line and the most recently canceled; its intended market was flight training and personal use. The Skycatcher received its ASTM LSA approval in July 2009. At one time 1200 of the aircraft had been ordered. In October 2013 Cessna CEO Scott Ernest stated that the Skycatcher had "no future" and in late January 2014 Cessna told its dealers to stop offering the 162. On 11 February 2014, Cessna removed all marketing for the Skycatcher from their official website. A total of 192 aircraft were sold and the remaining 80 unsold aircraft will be used for parts.
