About the Cessna CH-2000

The Cessna CH-2000 represents an unusual chapter in general aviation history as a Chinese-manufactured aircraft bearing the Cessna name. Built by Shijiazhuang Aircraft Industry Company in China under license from Cessna, the CH-2000 emerged in the 1990s as a two-seat, high-wing trainer and personal aircraft designed for the light sport and primary training market. The aircraft features a conventional tricycle landing gear, side-by-side seating, and a single Teledyne Continental IO-240-B piston engine producing 125 horsepower.

With a maximum takeoff weight of just 1,764 pounds and a never-exceed speed of 140 knots, the CH-2000 occupies the light end of the certificated aircraft spectrum. Its docile handling characteristics—stalling at 39 knots in landing configuration—make it suitable for ab-initio flight training, though it never achieved widespread adoption in Western markets. The type's operating envelope is modest: cruise speeds around 100-110 knots and a service ceiling near 14,000 feet position it squarely as a fair-weather trainer rather than a cross-country tourer.

The CH-2000 remains relatively rare in North American and European registries, with most examples concentrated in China and a handful scattered across private owners elsewhere. Its Cessna pedigree comes primarily from design lineage rather than manufacturing location, and the type has never competed seriously with Cessna's own 150/152 or 172 families. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
