About the Cessna 414A
The Cessna 414 Chancellor is a pressurized, light twin-engine piston aircraft that bridges the gap between the unpressurized Cessna 310/340 and the larger 421 Golden Eagle. Produced from 1970 to 1985, the 414/414A is powered by two Continental TSIO-520-NB engines (310 HP each, turbocharged) and cruises at 210 KTAS at FL210 with cabin pressurization of 3.8 psi differential. The cabin seats six in club seating with a center aisle, air conditioning, and the comfort level of a much larger aircraft. Approximately 1,070 were built across both variants.
Key variants. The 414 (1970-1978): original model with tip tanks and bonded wet wing. The 414A Chancellor (1978-1985): significantly improved with integral fuel tanks (eliminating tip tanks), longer nose for baggage, improved landing gear, and refined pressurization system. The 414A is strongly preferred over the original 414 for its cleaner aerodynamics and simplified fuel system.
Why the 414 has a loyal following. It delivers pressurized twin-engine capability at a fraction of turboprop cost. The TSIO-520 engines are less complex (and less expensive to overhaul) than the geared GTSIO-520s in the 421. For pilots who need pressurization for comfort and weather avoidance but fly 100-200 hours per year, the 414 makes more financial sense than a King Air.
Buying advice. TSIO-520 engine condition is paramount — TBO is 1,400 hours, and overhaul runs $55,000-$75,000 per engine. Turbocharger and wastegate condition, exhaust system integrity, and intercooler leaks are common items. Check for wing spar corrosion (especially on the original 414 with bonded wing), pressurization system leaks (door seal, outflow valve, windows), and landing gear saddle cracks. AD 2003-04-01 (engine mount) applies to some models.
Market. Cessna 414: $80,000-$160,000. 414A Chancellor: $120,000-$280,000. Premium 414A with modern avionics and mid-time engines: $200,000-$350,000. Cessna 414 operating costs run $350-$500/hr all-in. A Cessna 414 for sale is a smart buy for the experienced pilot who needs pressurized twin capability without turboprop expense.

Cessna 414A Price & Cost
How much does a Cessna 414A cost? Used 414A prices: from $540K, across 1 priced of 1 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.
Buying a Used Cessna 414A
Every Cessna 414A faces a mandatory 1,600-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due — a fresh-overhaul airframe can be worth a large share of the $45,000 overhaul cost more than one approaching its limit.
What to check before buying
- Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 1,600-hour limit; this dominates resale value more than total time.
- Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records; missing logs cut value and complicate financing.
- Damage history — any prior accident, hard landing or blade strike; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
- Avionics — a glass panel vs steam gauges materially changes price.
- Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
