Small general aviation planes are light aircraft used for personal, recreational, or business flying. They typically seat one to six passengers and are designed for short-distance travel. These planes can be found at local airports and are often used for flight training, aerial photography, and agricultural purposes. These aircraft come in various types, including single-engine and multi-engine models. Popular examples include the Cessna 172 and Piper PA-28. Small general aviation planes are essential for connecting remote areas and providing services that larger commercial airlines may not offer.
