Cessna 150M

N8590U

Overview

The Cessna 150M aircraft rental is a two-seat, single-engine, high-wing airplane that has long been a favorite for flight training, pilot instruction, and time building. Known for its reliability, easy handling, and economical operating costs, this Cessna 150 rental is an excellent choice for student pilots, hour-building pilots, and recreational flying within a professional flight club environment.

This airplane, upgraded with a Lycoming engine, is a significantly enhanced version of the classic trainer, transforming it from its original 100-horsepower Continental configuration into a much more capable 150-horsepower performer.

To increase the aircraft's useful load wheel pants were removed, providing a weight reduction that allows more flexibility for fuel, passengers, or training needs.

Equipment & Avionics

The Cessna 150M comes with upgraded and basic VFR instruments, including an airspeed indicator, altimeter, vertical speed indicator, and fundamental navigation equipment.

Upgraded avionics suite replaces the stock setup with modern, IFR-ready equipment. The Garmin GNC-355 with WAAS provides GPS/NAV/COMM and precision approaches, paired with a GNC-255 COMM and Stratus transponder for ADS-B OUT compliance and optional traffic/weather data, far beyond what a basic legacy stack offers.

Engine monitoring is enhanced with a JPI-730 showing individual CHT and EGT for each cylinder, while the Garmin GMA-345 audio panel adds ATC playback and Bluetooth connectivity, replacing the older analog instruments and audio panels lacking digital features.
