that's just not the case. I finished my training in a 162 last august. I'm 6'1 @ 200 and my CFI was smaller but he weighed in at 140 which is considerably more than 80. in the 162 that we normally flew we were able to put 18-gallons into the tanks and still be under max gross. yes, I'm new and no, apart from a 152 I flew 30-years ago I have no current experience in anything other than a 162 but I did and still do enjoy it and am hopeful that the FBO I rent from will continue to offer them. I do plan to move up to my private but in the meantime I'm having a blast in the 162 and I'm sorry to see Cessna drop them.

…It was supposed to be a trainer but would be over weight with a CFI who weighed over 80 lbs. Not to many of them around. Then if you put gas in it it was really over weight. Kinda tough to fly w/o gas. Then if you bent it up the insurance company probably wouldn't pay…
