About the Cessna Ttx

The Cessna TTx is a high-performance, fixed-gear, single-engine piston aircraft produced from 2013 to 2018. Originally developed by Columbia Aircraft as the 400 and later acquired by Cessna, the TTx is a composite construction aircraft with four seats, a 310-horsepower Continental TSIO-550 turbocharged engine, and a cruise speed of 235 knots — making it one of the fastest certified piston singles ever built.

With a range of 1,250 nautical miles, a maximum takeoff weight of 3,600 lbs, and fuel burn of approximately 17 gallons per hour, the TTx delivers cross-country performance that rivals some turboprops at a fraction of the operating cost. Variable hourly costs average around $195, with annual fixed costs near $25,000. The aircraft features a Garmin G2000 touchscreen glass cockpit, a roomy composite cabin, and speeds that make 600-mile trips practical for a day trip.

The Cessna TTx appeals to speed-oriented owner-pilots who want the fastest fixed-gear piston single available, with the backing of the Cessna brand and service network. It competes directly with the Cirrus SR22T but differentiates itself with higher cruise speeds and a more aerodynamically refined airframe. The relatively short production run means fewer are available on the used market, which can support resale values.

Buying a Used Cessna Ttx

Every Cessna Ttx 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 — a fresh-overhaul airframe can be worth a large share of the $36,000 overhaul cost more than one approaching its limit.

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 Ttx

Why did Cessna stop making the TTx?
Sales were dismal — only 23 TTx sold in 2017 vs 309 Cirrus SR22s. The TTx lacked a whole-airplane parachute (CAPS), had a smaller dealer/service network, and Cessna focused resources on jets and turboprops. Production ended February 2018. The small fleet (~300 total) means parts support may become challenging long-term, though the Continental TSIO-550 engine is well-supported.
How does the Cessna TTx compare to the Cirrus SR22?
The TTx is faster (235 kts vs 185 kts) — the fastest production fixed-gear piston single ever. Both seat 4 with similar useful loads. The SR22 has CAPS parachute, much larger owner community (9,000+ delivered vs ~300 TTx), and better resale value. The TTx has fixed gear (no gear-up risk) and composite construction. For speed-focused buyers, the TTx wins. For everything else, the SR22 dominates.
What are the operating costs of a Cessna TTx?
Variable costs run about 33/hr. Fuel burns 16 GPH (6/hr at /gal) from the twin-turbo Continental TSIO-550. Annual budget is 35K at 200 hours/year (77/hr all-in). The Garmin G2000 touchscreen avionics are modern and capable. At 40K average used price, the TTx offers supercar-level piston performance — but the small fleet and discontinued production give pause to long-term buyers.
