What is the maximum rated BHP of the Cessna 152's engine?

• A. 100 BHP
• B. 105 BHP
• C. 110 BHP
• D. 115 BHP

Answer: (C)

The engine used on a Cessna 152 is certified to deliver 110 horsepower at 2700 RPM, which is the maximum rated power for that aircraft. This 110 BHP is the engine’s approved power limit and is the figure you’ll see in the POH for takeoff and continuous operation. In practice, you’ll usually operate below this during cruise due to throttle settings, mixture, and altitude, but 110 BHP is the engine’s certified maximum. The other options are not the standard rating for the 152’s engine.
