Overview

The CESSNA 310Q is a piston twin-engine Cessna listed with 310 hp in the library data. The 310 family includes the 310Q and T310Q. The supplied documents are mostly service bulletins and STC paperwork, so this guide focuses on what to check before buying.

  • The library lists 310 hp for the CESSNA 310Q. It gives no seats, weights, speeds or range for this variant.
  • Family-wide, the Cessna 310 line reaches up to 193 kt cruise, 640 nm range and 6 passengers. These are not 310Q figures.
  • Elevator trim push-pull rod hardware replacement (MEB-27-02) is mandatory for 310 through 310R.
  • Original stall and landing gear warning horns are no longer available. Replacements need an added bracket.

Mandatory service bulletin

MEB-27-02 (Feb 29, 2016) covers 310 thru 310R and T310P to T310R, all serial numbers. It replaces the hardware on the elevator trim push-pull rod. It must be done at the next 100-hour or 12-month inspection. A visual check of the bolts, linkage and cotter pins follows at each later inspection. Ask for the logbook entry.

Warning horns

MEB-32-01 (landing gear warning horn) and MEB-34-05 (stall warning horn) cover 310Q/T310Q serial numbers 310Q0460 thru 310Q1160. Both are optional, dated Oct 11, 2022. The original horns are no longer available, and the new ones need an extra bracket. Check which horn is fitted.

Modifications and records

Check for an Aviation Fabricators tailcone stinger (STC SA00873WI), which covers 310Q and T310Q. Cleveland wheel and brake conversion kits exist for the 310 series under an STC.
