How many miles can a Cessna fly?

Depends on the model and optional fuel capacity, and gross weight. Other factors would include weather, such as wind, and how well the pilot manages the engine. So the smallest Cessna, a Cessna 150 for example, has a range of about 300 - 600 nautical miles, depending on fuel quantity, weight, etc. The larger Cessna 182 has a range of about 500 - 800 nm. The FAA rules also say all aircraft must land with at least 30 minutes of fuel on board, and 45 minutes for instrument flights. It gets a little more technical than that but this is the very basic answer.
