This 1977 Cessna 340A Is a Travel-Optimized ‘AircraftForSale’ Top Pick
Dec 16, 2024
Great looks, impressive performance, and pressurization make the 340A the ideal light twin for families.
Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.
It is easy to get excited at the prospect of flying a light twin and experiencing the added power, acceleration, climb rate, and cruising speeds that a second engine provides.
Adding a pressurized cabin is a significant upgrade, especially for passengers who get to benefit from smoother air and higher speeds at altitude without having to wear oxygen masks or cannulas. For pilots transporting family members, friends, or colleagues from work, there is little worry about keeping the cabin comfortable.
The 340 has the bonus feature of being perhaps the best-looking light twin available. I think its sleek shape and attractive proportions give it nearly over-the-top ramp appeal that will generate compliments wherever you travel.
This 340A has 7,208 hours on the airframe, 535 hours since overhaul on the left-side Continental TSIO-520-NB engine and 1,892 hours on the right. Each of its Hartzell three-blade propellers has logged 30 hours since overhaul.
