Cessna Aircraft Insurance from Aviation Insurance Resources

Friday, May 10th, 2013

In June 1911, Clyde Cessna test flew an aircraft he built, becoming the first person to fly between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. Cessna Aircraft was later formed in 1927 and since then has grown to be one of the most well-known general aviation aircraft.

Many pilots get their start in a Cessna 150, Cessna 172, or Cessna 182. They make great trainers as well as family planes.  Cessna has a very expansive market, offering a light sport option in the Cessna 162, cargo hauling in the Cessna Caravan, multi-engine aircraft such as the Cessna 400 series, and their popular business jet, the Cessna Citation.

In the fall of 2007 Cessna took Columbia Aircraft under their wing and started manufacturing the low wing, Cessna 350 and Cessna 400 that have a maximum cruising speed of 235 knots.

Cessna Aircraft Company has been manufacturing aircraft for nearly 100 years producing more than 190,000 aircraft.  Per the Cessna website, more than half the aircraft flying today are Cessnas.  Aviation Insurance Resources is proud to insure and protect the Cessna fleet flying today. Without the proper coverage, the cost to repair or replace your Cessna would fall solely on you if it is ever damaged.  You could be held liable for any damages you cause to other aircraft, property, or people.

Cessna Aircraft Insurance
