The Cessna 190 is an iconic classic aircraft known for its sturdy build and performance. It is part of a family of postwar executive and utility airplanes that began with the Cessna 195. The 190 model is distinguished by its Continental W670-24 engine, differentiating it from the 195 model. Production of the 190 commenced in October 1947, shortly after the 195. These aircraft gained approval for operation with floats and skis, highlighting their versatility.
Cessna, the manufacturer, holds a foundational place in American aviation history, tracing its roots to Clyde V. Cessna, who built his first aircraft in 1911. The Cessna Aircraft Company was officially established in Wichita, Kansas, in 1927. The company became known worldwide for producing a vast range of highly successful general aviation aircraft, setting industry standards, and making personal flight accessible.
A range of platforms and access solutions support methodical maintenance across the 190 aircraft. Elevated platforms and access stands address work needed around the Nose Section (Windshield & Cockpit, Bulkhead, Antenna, Nose Avionics, and Radome). Maintenance stands facilitate access for the Landing Gear (NLG and MLG), Forward Fuselage (Cabin Access, Lighting Systems, and Cargo/Baggage), Middle Fuselage / Wing Box Area (Fuel Tanks and Oil Maintenance), and Tail Section (Vertical and Horizontal Stabiliser, and Rudder). These platforms include the Reach Deck Platform, Modular Stepover Platforms, Super Trestle Scaffold, Ultraraise, Super Service Stand, Easyraise, Bridge Deck, and Cantilever Platform.
