Are small single prop planes like the Cessna Skyhawk or the Piper Warrior pressurized?

Answer 1

I use to own a Cessna 172N Skyhawk on our farm. Due to engine performance and lack rate of climb high altitude flying took to long to reach therefore the need for pressurisation is nil. So Skyhawks were not pressurised.

Answer 2

I did the majority of my training in various models of 172s and don't have very many complaints about them, I think they're great planes for training... the only Piper I've had a significant amount of time in is a Seminole so I can't help you out on how differently the 172 and the Warrior handle and "feel." I agree with you on the visibility you get in a 172, it makes ground reference maneuvers much easier than in a low wing, and you have a better view of the runway when you're about to touch down. If you're more used to a high wing than a low wing, you'll be more used to flaring more while landing, but that is definitely something that you can get adjusted to with practice... it took me a while to get the feel of a low-flare landing in low wings after having flown only Cessnas for the previous 2 years. Also, when taxiing in a 172, you can clear higher obstacles like snowdrifts at the side of the taxiway.

Answer 3

Prop plane are often flying in low altitude, so they don't need to be pressurized

Answer 4

Usually anything that is small is not pressurized.

Answer 5

No, they don't fly high enough to need pressurizarion, anyway.

Answer 6

nope
