Why does Westwind use Cessna aircraft while some schools use Pipers?

0

Westwind uses both Cessna and Piper manufactured aircraft. Westwind uses Cessna 172’s, and Piper Arrows for single engine training. For multi-engine training we use the Piper Seminole. If you add up all the current pilots who received their Pilot’s certificate in an aircraft other than a Cessna it wouldn’t even come close to the number of pilots who learned to fly in a Cessna. There must be a reason for that! Cessna aircraft are rugged and can take a lot of training abuse. Its large cabin (two doors) and high wing make it an ideal training aircraft.
