About the Cessna 421B
The Cessna 421B Golden Eagle is an eight-seat, twin-engine, pressurized piston aircraft with turbocharged Continental GTSIO-520 engines. Burning approximately 34 gallons per hour total, the 421B offers a pressurized cabin and genuine business-class comfort in a piston twin.
Variable hourly costs average around $420, with annual fixed costs near $42,000. The 421B appeals to operators who need pressurized twin-engine capability without stepping up to turboprop economics, and to pilots who value the cabin comfort of business aviation at piston prices.
Produced 1968–1975.
