First, take the four-passenger aircraft chosen by more pilots as their personal favorite than any other. Then, elevate its performance to a higher scale with an agile 1,039 feet-per-minute (317 mpm) climb thanks to its turbo powerplant, the TIO-540-AK1A. The advanced slope-controlled turbocharger enables this hard-charger to ascend up and over unfriendly weather, terrain and traffic, as well as take advantage of more favorable winds. The Turbo Skylane carries full-rated power all the way to a max operating altitude of 20,000 feet (6,096 m). There, you’ll cruise the clear, smooth air at speeds of up to 176 knots (326 km/h).
Safety. More than just a catchphrase.
Our determined efforts to improve the safety of our aircraft can benefit our customers in a variety of ways, not the least of which are favorable insurance premiums and low costs of ownership. But perhaps the biggest payoff is the confidence and comfort level that you as a Cessna pilot will rightly feel when you take to the skies. Whether its a hop around the patch with one of your kids, a weekend away with your spouse, or a fly-in breakfast at a nearby airstrip, Cessna has an 80-plus year legacy of safety which is with you all the way.

Combine these cutting-edge avionics with the most trusted name in aviation, and you’ll quickly see how taking to the skies in a Cessna equipped with SVT makes flying easier and safer than ever.
In addition to the functions you will likely use most often with the optional XM Weather program - textual and graphical METARS, TAFs, NEXRAD radar, and graphical winds aloft - you also get lightning, cloud tops, freezing levels, and TFRs, as well as many other textual and graphical weather products. All this valuable information is automatically sent to your aircraft via the XM Satellite System and updated continuously to provide you with a near real-time picture of conditions you’ll encounter - or avoid - during your flight. Want even a little more reassurance? Range rings estimating your range with reserves and maximum range based on current fuel flow and wind conditions are readily available.
