In the book "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen, the pilot of the Cessna 406 is described as a middle-aged man with a beer belly and a friendly face. He is also depicted as a kind and experienced pilot who is calm under pressure.
All Cessna 406 are low wing, twin engine executive aircraft. -The "Cessna 406 Bushplane" in the book "Hatchet" is entirelya figment of the author's fertile imagination. The There is in fact NO such aircraft.
In the book "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen, Terry is the pilot who suffers a heart attack and dies while flying Brian to visit his father in the Canadian wilderness. Terry's passing leaves Brian stranded alone with only the hatchet he received as a gift from his mother.
If you are looking at the picture of a white twin engine aircraft with a red emblem on the tail this is a Cessna 406. Does it look like a "bushplane ? -NO. There is no such thing as a "Cessna 406 bushplane."-The guy who wrote "hatchet " got his fact all wrong.

It only takes one person to fly a small airplane like a Cessna. Larger planes may require a pilot, co-pilot and navigator.
For a real plane like a Cessna, you have to be at least 16 to have a flight student certificate, I think you have to be 18+ to have a real "Pilots license"
I suppose that anyone looking for this answer has just read Hatchet. Hatchet is a wonderful, award winning young adult novel. However the author, Gary Paulson, erroneously called the small two-place airplane, that is so critical to the story, a Cessna 406. A Cessna 406 was actually a high performance twin engined, turbo prop aircraft. The aircraft seated 6 persons and could carry 3,000 pounds and cruise at 450 miles an hour at high altitude. I got my answer to this question from Cessna's website then called the customer care number listed there.
it depends. if you like and realistic books yes if not don't reed Hatchet.
because the pilot didnt like his family at all and wanted to be gay with Justin Bieber!
No, crowbar is a lever while a hatchet has a blade like an ax

Clyde Cessna built his first aircraft in 1911. It was not much like toays sleek modern Cessnas.
