Engine, propeller and weights
Certification data for the 310F lists a Continental IO-470-D engine, a McCauley D2AF36C48 propeller and a 4830 lb maximum takeoff weight. The library listing instead shows a 260 hp IO-520, 3200 lb empty weight and 5200 lb maximum weight. Payload depends on the individual airplane's weighed empty weight, so get a current weight and balance.
Performance and speeds (listing figures)
The listing shows 1200 fpm climb, 2500 ft takeoff and 2200 ft landing distance over 50 ft. Listed speeds: Vy 88, Vx 74, Vr 75, Vfe 120, stall 70 clean and 61 landing configuration. Confirm every figure against the flight manual for the specific airplane, because the 5200 lb listing may not match 310F certification limits.
What to check before buying
Ask for the cabin heater inspection history. The Janitrol B-series heater fitted to 310F-310Q airplanes needs periodic combustion tube checks, and a failed test means a major overhaul. Confirm the engine and weight data on the data plate and in the manual. Check the fuel system, the retractable landing gear and the exhaust, which Cessna's safety supplements cover.

Safety notes
- Cessna's Pilot Safety and Warning Supplements cover single-engine flight in multi-engine airplanes, fuel contamination, carbon monoxide and retractable landing gear. Read them.
- The airplane's own Pilot's Operating Handbook takes precedence over the library listing and the supplements. Obtain a copy if it is missing.
