Default [3e] Cessna 402

Cessna 402
Manufactured by Cessna from 1966 to 1985, the 402 was designed to be an inexpensive, easy to maintain transport. As such, it was neither particularly fast nor pressurized. The internal cabin could be arranged to seat 6 to 10 people, or could have all seats removed for cargo.

The 402 is a very dependable plane, and is used by many regional airlines worldwide. It is also used as a light military transport by a dozen or more countries, including Columbia, Mexico, Paraguay, Venezuela, South Africa, and Finland. The American R&B singer Aaliyah was killed in a 402 crash in the Bahamas in 2001.

The Cessna 402 has a crew of one (pilot). The planes burns 20.2 gallons of aviation gas per hour of routine usage. A full tank of fuel costs $204.
