Cessna 414A Overview
The Cessna 414A is a piston aircraft manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation), produced from 1978-1985. Classified as a light-cabin aircraft, the Cessna 414A carries up to 7 passengers at a maximum cruise speed of 230 knots with a range of 1,200 nautical miles — placing it squarely in the charter and corporate flight segment for regional missions.
The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 4 active Cessna 414A registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 2x Continental TSIO-520-NB, each producing 310 HP each of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 230 knots (undefined), with a long-range cruise of 210 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 30,800 feet puts the Cessna 414A well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 2,365 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 1,200 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the Cessna 414A handles short-haul regional flights connecting major metropolitan areas within a few hundred miles. Typical hourly operating costs range from $400-$600 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The Cessna 414A cabin measures 12.5 ft long, 4.5 ft wide, and 4.4 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 7 passengers, with 35 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Garmin/Collins avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
Market Position
Pressurized piston twin for all-weather flying. The Cessna 414A continues to serve corporate, charter, and private operators worldwide, supported by a strong aftermarket network and ongoing manufacturer support.
