Inefficient production, fierce competition, and an untimely hailstorm conspired to spell the end of Columbia, and Cessna bought the design less than a year after Columbia’s 2007 bankruptcy. That was 16 percent of all Cessna piston airplanes sold that year including all four piston models still in production then.
Is Cessna 400 Safe?
Regarding the safety of Cirrus and Cessna 350/400 it looks like they have a much worse record than Cessna 172/182 and Diamond. According to the stats: Cirrus and Cessna 350/400 are involved in fatal accidents at about 3 times the rate of Diamond and Cessna 172/182 aircraft.
How far can a Cessna 400 fly?
25,000 feet
The 400 is certified up to 25,000 feet, and the POH tells owners that they can expect 235 knots true airspeed at 85-percent power with best power (rich of peak) mixtures that result in a 25-gallon-per-hour fuel-consumption rate.
How much does a Cessna 400 cost?
Depending on numerous factors, the average price for a pre-owned CESSNA Corvalis 400 TTx is $650,000.00. A $325,000.00 loan over 120 months including $1354.17 per month in interest equates to a $16,296.71 per-period payment.

What is the easiest airplane to land?
A Bonanza is definitely one of the easiest airplanes to land in a crosswind and the combination of long stroke, soft spring force that increases with compression, and very good damping tends to produce more greasers and fewer “arrivals” than something with a flexible fixed gear like a Cessna or Cirrus.

In the past, Cirrus used a turbo-normalizing system (SR22TN), but later switched to the Continental factory twin-turbocharger option similar to what Columbia/Cessna had been using. In general, the TTx is approximately 5 to 15 knots faster than the SR22T. This varies based on operating parameters and installed equipment.
Which is better The SR22T or the TTX?
In general, the TTx is approximately 5 to 15 knots faster than the SR22T. This varies based on operating parameters and installed equipment. For instance, FIKI, EVS, A/C on/off, etc. The overall economy (nautical miles per gallon) is going to be very close on both airplanes.
How many cubic feet does a Cessna TTx have?
TTx – 77 cubic feet capacity SR22T – 77 cubic feet capacity TTx – 10 Gal (2 hrs 43 min at normal flow) SR22T – 8 Gal. (2 hrs 30 min at normal flow) TTx – 102 Gal. SR22T – 92 Gal. TTx – Continental TSIO-550-C/Takeoff power 310 horsepower at 2600 RPM.
