Description
Airframe: Total Hours: 4,846 Total Cycles: 0 The pressurized 414 was developed to appeal to owners of un pressurized twin-engined aircraft and was based on the fuselage of the Cessna 421 and used the wing design of the Cessna 401. The Cessna 414 is truly one of the best values in the pressurized piston twin market today. Anyone looking to step up from an unpressurized twin or even a high performance single, should give the 414 a serious look.
