Cessna 400 Aircraft in Florida
Florida is a major used-aircraft transaction state with high concentration of flight schools, dealers and aviation events (Sun 'n Fun, Naples, Vero Beach, Lakeland). The flat terrain and dense GA airport network make Florida ideal for cross-country training and recreational flying year-round.
The Cessna 400 (originally the Columbia 400 and later marketed as the Cessna Corvalis TT) is a high-performance, single-engine piston aircraft produced from 2004 to 2018. Featuring a 310-horsepower Continental TSIO-550 turbocharged engine, the Cessna 400 cruises at 220 knots with a range of 1,100 nautical miles, placing it among the fastest certified fixed-gear piston singles ever built.
With a maximum takeoff weight of 3,600 lbs, fuel burn of approximately 17.5 gallons per hour, and seating for four, the Cessna 400 delivers near-turboprop speeds at piston operating costs. The all-composite airframe, Garmin G1000 glass cockpit, and turbocharged engine create a technologically advanced package for serious cross-country travel.
The Cessna 400 appeals to speed-oriented owner-pilots who fly regularly for business and want to cover 500-plus-mile trips in the shortest time possible without stepping up to turbine power. Its composite construction provides a smooth, aerodynamically clean exterior that contributes to its exceptional cruise performance. While production was limited compared to other Cessna models, the type benefits from the Cessna service network and shares a platform with the Cessna TTx.

Cessna 400 Price & Cost
How much does a Cessna 400 cost? Used 400 prices: $239K – $481K, average $335K (median $335K); market reference $400K, across 33 priced of 3 active listings.
Key price factors: engine time to overhaul, year and airframe hours, avionics, damage history and logbook completeness — see the buying guide below for the full pre-purchase checklist.
The TSIO-550 burns approximately 17-18 gph - the highest single-engine piston fuel burn in the Cessna line, appropriate to its 310 hp. Fixed gear removes retractable-gear maintenance, but the turbocharger system and composite structure define the annual: turbocharger and exhaust condition, and composite-structure assessment by an inspector familiar with composite aircraft. The Columbia/Cessna 400 community provides resources but is narrower than the metal Cessna fleet. TSIO-550 overhaul cost is above mainstream singles. The 400 operates at a cost level between turbocharged piston singles and the lightest turboprops.
