Introducing the Cessna 152

The Cessna 152 is a dependable and efficient light aircraft, widely recognised for its versatility and low operating costs. While it remains one of the most popular training aircraft in the world, it also stands out as an excellent platform for specialised light aviation operations.

The Cessna 152 is particularly well-suited for aerial survey missions, offering excellent visibility, stable low-speed handling, and precise control. These characteristics enable consistent and accurate data collection, making it ideal for coastal mapping, infrastructure inspections, environmental monitoring, and observational work across Mozambique. Its low operating costs and fuel efficiency make it a highly economical solution for extended survey missions.
