Cessna announced the go-ahead for the SkyCatcher in July
2007. Deliveries are expected to begin in the second
half of 2009, and at full-rate production, Cessna plans
to produce up to 700 SkyCatchers a year.
The Model 162 SkyCatcher is expected to cruise at speeds
up to 118 knots (219 kilometers per hour), with a
maximum range of 470 nautical miles (870 kilometers).
The aircraft will feature a Garmin G300 avionics system.
Information is presented in a single, split-screen
primary flight display and multi-function display, or as
two full-screen displays with an optional second screen.
The aircraft will be capable of day and night, visual
flight rules operations.
Preliminary design parameters for the SkyCatcher
include a maximum gross weight of 1,320 pounds (599
kilograms), a service ceiling of 15,500 feet (4,724
meters), a useful load of 490 pounds (222 kilograms) and
a usable fuel capacity of 24 gallons (91 liters). It has
a cabin width at shoulder height of more than 44 inches
(1.12 meters), equaling that of the much larger,
six-place Cessna 206 Stationair. It features
two top-hinged cabin entry doors and forward tilting
seats giving access to a spacious baggage compartment.
