Buying a Used Cessna T303

Every Cessna T303 faces a mandatory 2,000-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due.

What to check before buying

  • Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 2,000-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.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cessna T303

What is the Cessna T303 Crusader?
The T303 Crusader is a light cabin-class twin-engine piston aircraft built by Cessna in the mid-1980s, with counter-rotating turbocharged Continental engines, a club cabin and forgiving handling. It was Cessna's last new piston twin design.
How much does a Cessna T303 Crusader cost?
As a short-production light twin with a small used fleet, T303 prices vary with engine times, avionics and condition. See the live price range and median above.
What are the Cessna T303 specifications?
The T303 Crusader is a light cabin-class twin seating six, with counter-rotating turbocharged Continental engines, a comfortable club cabin and benign handling. See the specifications for exact cruise, range and performance figures.
What is the Cessna T303 interior like?
The Crusader has a six-seat cabin-class interior with club seating and good cabin access, designed for comfortable owner-flown travel. Interior condition and avionics fit drive value.
Why does the T303 have counter-rotating engines?
The two engines turn in opposite directions, which eliminates the critical engine and makes engine-out handling more symmetrical and easier — a safety and handling benefit for a light twin.
What is the Cessna 408 SkyCourier?
The 408 SkyCourier is a separate, current Cessna design — a twin-turboprop freighter and commuter aircraft — not related to the piston T303 Crusader. It is covered on its own listings rather than here.
How many seats does the Cessna T303 have?
Six, in a cabin-class club layout.
Is the Cessna T303 Crusader still in production?
No — the T303 had a short mid-1980s production run and is out of production. A small used fleet is supported by the Cessna and Continental parts networks.
