Flying the Cessna Skycatcher

By Janice Wood · May 9, 2011 ·

John and Martha King of King Schools have released a new course titled “Flying the Cessna Skycatcher.”

The course demonstrates all the basic maneuvers in the Skycatcher and is designed for pilots transitioning to the Cessna Skycatcher or for those just interested in knowing what flying the Cessna Skycatcher would be like, the Kings said, noting it is the exclusive transition course used by Cessna Pilot Centers worldwide.

“The Skycatcher is an absolute delight to fly. With a low panel, large windows in the doors, and struts that are behind the pilot and passenger, the visibility is fabulous,” Martha King commented. “And because it is a Cessna, the handling is a delight,” continued John. “If you are already a pilot, you’ll find this course gives you just what you need — from using the amazing Garmin G300 to understanding how to best fly this very capable little airplane,” concluded Martha.

Flying the Cessna Skycatcher includes more than three hours of video and is available from King Schools for $149 from the website or at 800-854-1001.
