2005 Cessna 400 COLUMBIA

The Cessna 400 (originally the Columbia 400 and later marketed as the Cessna Corvalis TT) is a high-performance, single-engine piston aircraft produced from 2004 to 2018. Featuring a 310-horsepower Continental TSIO-550 turbocharged engine, the Cessna 400 cruises at 220 knots with a range of 1,100 nautical miles, placing it among the fastest certified fixed-gear piston singles ever built. With a maximum takeoff weight of 3,600 lbs, fuel burn of approximately 17.5 gallons per hour, and seating for four, the Cessna 400 delivers near-turboprop speeds at piston operating costs. Variable hourly costs average around $200, with annual fixed costs near $26,000. The all-composite airframe, Garmin G1000 glass cockpit, and turbocharged engine create a technologically advanced package for serious cross-country travel. The Cessna 400 appeals to speed-oriented owner-pilots who fly regularly for business and want to cover 500-plus-mile trips in the shortest time possible without stepping up to turbine power. Its composite construction provides a smooth, aerodynamically clean exterior that contributes to its exceptional cruise performance. While production was limited compared to other Cessna models, the type benefits from the Cessna service network and shares a platform with the Cessna TTx.
