5 Easiest Airplanes to Learn To Fly In

1. Cessna 172

Since 1956, when the production started, more than 43,000 Cessna 172 planes were made. This puts it firmly on the throne as the most produced airplane in the world, surpassing even the mass-produced warplanes of the World War 2 like Ilyushin Il-2 and Messerschmitt Bf 109, even though the production was halted in 1986, only to be resumed in 1998. It is hard to imagine an airfield or a pilot school anywhere in the world without at least one Cessna 172. With four seats, it is far roomier than Cessna 150 and despite being designed as a personal airplane, it quickly seized the role of a basic trainer. If numbers of them in service with flying schools around the world are to be trusted, Cessna 172 is the easiest airplane to learn to fly in.
