Does light aircraft have lavatory?

Question

Does light aircraft have lavatory?

Answer 1

No they don't.

Answer 2

Depends on what you consider "light aircraft."  Certainly a Cessna 150 would not have a lavatory, but as you move into cabin class twins, you may find some rudimentary facilities, and as you get into larger turbine twins and biz jets, the lavs get better as the size (and price) of the aircraft increase.

Answer 3

Beechcraft King Air has a bathroom in back and a couple different "relief tubes"... so funny telling other mechanics it's a microphone!

Answer 4

Toilets on aircraft are a luxury and pay in extra fuel costs having one installed.  Some toilets like on large commercial aircraft take up lots of space and so on the smaller light aircraft they may only be a honey bucket type of toilet.  The honey bucket is a sit down toilet with a bucket that hold the body waste and is dumped after each flight.  Because small light aircraft not the 2-6 passenger types but larger will use a honey bucket.

On small light aircraft such as a Piper or Cessna with 2-6 passengers they will use a relief tube the male pilot will pee in during flight and the female with use a flying J cup.  Since small aircraft can’t fly for to many hours so toilets are not used.

But to answer your question yes they can have a toilet.

Answer 5

Yes, if you consider the bottle of water YOU brought with you that's now empty!!

Only the business jets and turboprops do. Small, light, single engine airplanes and small twin engine airplanes do not.  All current airliners (except the Beech 1900) have lavatories.

Answer 6

No they don't. They have "honey bottles" or "honey buckets".

Answer 7

There are toilets that you can put into light passenger aircraft. They a similar to Toilets for small boats and have a self contained holding tank.. There are chemical toilets too but they are not recommended because of venting concerns. These toilets can be used in 4-place aircraft but because of cabin size there is no privacy. Most small aircraft pilots just 'hold it in' or they pee in a bottle.

Answer 8

No

Answer 9

Cabin class airplanes in some cases have a loo of some sort; the privacy often leaves something to be desired.

Cessna 400 series, Piper Navajo, Beech Queen Air, and similar aircraft.  Also some of the newer turboprop singes.

No smaller aircraft are so equipped.
