Government organizations, law enforcement agencies, and other groups need aircraft with reliable performance and flexibility for successful search and rescue operations. When people’s lives are on the line, there’s no room for error. Cessna single-engine aircraft are uniquely suited for these critical operations and the operating costs are significantly lower than those of a helicopter Performance characteristics such as stable slow-speed, low-altitude flying with an unimpeded view of the ground below allow search and rescue personnel to thoroughly survey the area. All Cessna single-engine aircraft are single-pilot certified, so more eyes can be on the ground while extended range and greater fuel efficiency can keep you searching longer.

Many search and rescue missions take place in challenging topographical terrain. With the ability to access rough and short airfields, the Cessna single-engine piston aircraft offers a critical advantage. A wide variety of surveillance equipment, including cameras and video systems, can be installed on the aircraft and integrated into the advanced Garmin avionics system. Pilots can also add flight-deck functionality that will allow topographical maps of the terrain for even closer examination.

The performance, reliability, and global service network that Cessna single-engine aircraft offer make them the perfect platform for search and rescue operations of all types.

Every Cessna single-engine piston aircraft is engineered for ease of use, stability, safety, and optimized performance. Each aircraft has a distinct set of performance benefits balanced with operating costs. Depending on your special mission requirements, the Cessna single-engine piston aircraft you choose will be configured to fit its intended mission.

Whether you’re dropping supplies or a professional crew for a mission, taking people on recreational skydiving trips, or transporting cargo or personnel, the Cessna single-engine piston aircraft is the perfect platform. From its stability at slow speeds to its low-altitude capability and docile handling characteristics, we have what it takes to complete successful and safe parachute missions. Cessna single-engine aircraft are capable of taking off and landing on remote, unimproved landing strips — perfect for reliable deployment to target locations over drop zones.

When equipped for parachute operations, your Cessna single-engine aircraft will include parachute static lines, red-/green-light cabin signals, additional headphone jacks, and other accessories to assist in aerial deployment. With the Stationair as your platform, the rear door can be removed for flights, making jumps easier. Each single-engine aircraft is equipped with state-of-the-art, all-glass Garmin avionics, ensuring optimal situational awareness for every mission.

The Cessna single-engine amphibious aircraft offers valuable multimission capability for a variety of applications. Combining traditional surveillance capabilities with the ability for direct intervention on water gives the amphibious platform a significant advantage over conventional aircraft. Whether you’re using it for maritime search and rescue, pollution patrol missions, fisheries or sovereignty patrols, utility transports, drug and illegal migration interdiction, or any other special mission requiring an amphibious aircraft, we will design the airborne package customized for your unique requirements.

Your amphibious aircraft can accommodate the sensitive special equipment you need to successfully carry out your mission. With advanced Garmin avionics, you can integrate synthetic-vision technology for topographical maps, real-time weather radar equipment, still and video cameras, infrared cameras, and a variety of other features depending on your specific requirements. The unparalleled reliability and performance of a Cessna single-engine aircraft will ensure that your crew has the time and the flight characteristics necessary to successfully complete the mission.

Stay informed about the condition of your pipeline installation and rights of way with the most efficient and effective aircraft for visual pipeline inspection. Responding to leaks and intrusions before they escalate depends completely on the effectiveness of such inspections. Cessna aircraft are designed for low, slow flying, which supports such missions as pipeline integrity monitoring, management of pipeline inventory, right-of-way inspection, and vegetation management. With fully integrated monitoring equipment, you can easily detect pipeline leaks, erosion, vegetation issues, missing markers, and any other observable issues.

A Cessna single-engine aircraft equipped for such missions can also handle geophysical surveys for earth science, archeology, mineral exploration, energy exploration, or engineering. Cessna aircraft have the performance and reliability you need to keep your project sites running optimally. Easily access remote exploratory sites with short and rough landing strips. Configure your Cessna single-engine aircraft for maximum cargo space, maximum seating, or a combination of both.

Our single-engine aircraft come standard with state-of-the-art Garmin G1000 avionics, ensuring optimal situational awareness for pilots. The G1000 flight deck also serves as a perfect platform for installing and integrating a variety of optional equipment to match your mission requirements exactly.

Because medical evacuation and air ambulance missions are always emergencies, there is no room for error in your aircraft platform. The proven dispatch reliability of the Cessna Stationair has made it a favorite among regional air ambulance services providers everywhere. The performance statistics of the Stationair are also befitting of emergency missions, especially its remarkable performance-on-station times.

The Stationair’s generous cargo capacity is another benefit, enabling it to accommodate a medical staff as well as the necessary equipment, including a stretcher and base, ventilators, vacuum pumps, IV pumps, restraint systems, and more. Specialized loading systems can be designed for the Stationair medevac aircraft for ease of patient access. Famous for its stable flying characteristics, the high-winged Stationair will ensure secure transport at both slow and fast speeds.

Evacuating injured or ill people in rural or remote areas is not a problem, as the Stationair has the performance power and the rugged landing gear to handle takeoffs and landings on short, unimproved landing strips. The Stationair can be outfitted with amphibious floats or skis as well for accessibility to areas with no landing strip at all. And because weather can be a concern in emergencies, every Stationair is equipped with Garmin G1000 avionics, which provide graphical weather radar and flight-planning technology to help keep you in the clear.
