This Cessna 414A RAM IV represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-maintained, pressurized twin with modern avionics and strong performance. Built in 1979, this aircraft combines the proven reliability of the Cessna 414A airframe with the enhanced capabilities of the RAM IV engine conversion. Powered by two Continental TSIO-520-NB engines, each rated at 325 horsepower, the aircraft offers impressive climb performance, cruise efficiency, and high-altitude capability. Both engines currently have approximately 305 hours since major overhaul, providing significant remaining service life. The aircraft is equipped with a comprehensive and modern Garmin avionics suite, including dual G600 TXi primary flight displays, GTN 750Xi and GTN 650Xi navigators, and a four-axis GFC 600 autopilot. A color weather radar further enhances situational awareness and operational capability in changing weather conditions. The aircraft is approved for Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI), providing additional operational flexibility and safety in adverse weather environments. With its spacious pressurized cabin, executive interior, modern avionics, FIKI capability, and the performance advantages of the RAM IV conversion, this Cessna 414A is an attractive aircraft for private owners as well as business operators seeking speed, comfort, and capability in the twin-engine class.
