About the Cessna Pilots Association

The Cessna Pilots Association brings together people who own, fly, operate and maintain Cessna aircraft. Our focus is Cessna piston singles and twins, and the practical information that helps their owners and operators understand their aircraft.

CPA combines technical resources and education with a community of people who share an interest in Cessna flying. Whether you are getting to know an aircraft or drawing on years of experience, the association offers ways to keep learning and connect with others.

Practical information for Cessna owners and pilots

Our purpose is to help members make informed decisions about aircraft operation and maintenance. CPA's resources cover aircraft systems, ownership and technical topics, with information available through the website, educational courses and member publications.

Explore our public articles for an introduction to the subjects covered by CPA. Member resources and technical-support services are available through the relevant member areas; access depends on your membership and the resource concerned.

Technical resources and support

CPA's technical resources include a Technical Archive and the Cessna Wiki. These resources help members find information relevant to Cessna aircraft and ownership. The Wiki is a separate system reached through CPA's member navigation, and some resources require you to sign in.

Read the public Wiki introduction to learn about this resource. Members looking for technical assistance should use the technical-support entry in their member navigation. For help finding the right service or resolving a website-access question, contact CPA.

Courses, reading and continuing learning

CPA offers educational opportunities for people who want to better understand Cessna aircraft. The Courses page presents the available course information, including online and in-person offerings when listed.

The CPA magazine, public articles and books in the Shop provide other ways to explore aircraft and ownership topics. Check each listing for its current format, availability, price and access requirements.

A community built around shared experience

Owning and flying a Cessna often raises questions that other owners have encountered. CPA's member forums provide a place to ask questions, discuss aircraft topics and share experience with other Cessna pilots and owners.

Explore the CPA forums to connect with other pilots and aircraft owners. Forum categories help organize those discussions so members can find relevant topics and contribute to the conversation. Sign in through CPA to reach the community areas available to your membership.
