About the Commander 114A

The Commander 114 is a four-seat, retractable-gear single known for one of the roomiest cabins in its class and stable, comfortable handling. Powered by a 260 hp Lycoming IO-540, with the later 114B and turbocharged 114TC adding refinement and performance, it is a comfortable cross-country tourer that competes with the Beechcraft Bonanza and Piper Saratoga on cabin comfort and load.

Produced 1968.
