As a generality, the Cessna 340 is a pressurized, turbocharged 310. Cessna put a lot of effort into its styling and the results are particularly attractive both inside and out.

Is the Cessna 340 a good airplane?
I’ve owned a Cessna 340 for about 25 years. It is a great two- to three-person aircraft with full fuel and baggage. If you plan to fill the cabin, do not plan to fill the tanks or take 70 pounds of suitcases. You can get off the ground just fine, but if you lost an engine, you would be in a world of hurt.

The landing gear is the same as the 414, but the horizontal and vertical stabilizer, elevator and rudder are the same as the 310; minor changes in the 310 tail make it interchangeable with the 340. The 340 has a gross weight of 5,975 pounds, and an empty weight of 3,697 pounds.
Which is better a Piper Baron or a Cessna 340?
Not bad as twins go, but certainly no turboprop, either. The 340s claimed single-engine rate of climb is 315 FPM, better than the 414 (290 FPM), Beech P58 Baron (270) and the Piper 601P (240) and 602P (302) Aerostars.
Where are the fuel tanks located on a Cessna 340?
These tanks are bladder type cells located between the spars and the outboard wing. Optional wing locker tanks are installed in the forward portion of each wing locker area. A fuel flow gauge, fuel quantity gauge and a fuel low level warning light is located in the cockpit.
How does a 340 land on the runway?
It does, and very well. The 340 doesn’t land like the 310. You get the approach speed stabilized at 117 indicated with flaps and gear down, then hold it in that position until just over the runway, when you ease off the power. The plane lands itself.
