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.
