Aerobatic Maneuvers

Type of maneuvers and Fligth characteristics

The Cessna 150 is simple, robust and easy to fly. For these reasons it has become one of the world's most popular basic trainers.
Cockpit visibility is generally good other than directly above the aircraft, where the view is blocked by the wing.
The Cessna 150 Aerobat is a variant of the Cessna 150 trainer; it is structurally enhanced for limited +6/-3g aerobatics. The Aerobat features overhead skylights, four point harnesses, G-meter, quick jettison doors, and removable seat cushions so parachutes can be worn.
