Commander 114 Aircraft in Canada

Canadian-registered aircraft (C- prefix) operate under Transport Canada certification standards similar to FAA but with specific differences in maintenance, equipment, and operations. Canadian aircraft frequently transact cross-border to US buyers; import process requires FAA airworthiness re-certification and possible equipment changes.

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.
