Cessna 411 Model Guide
Cessna 411 · Model Guide
Overview
The Cessna 411 is a twin-engine piston airplane built from 1965 to 1968 and certified in the Normal Category. It seats 6, 7 or 8 and has two Continental GTSIO-520-C engines rated 340 hp at 2400 rpm. Maximum takeoff and landing weight is 6500 lb. The 411A is the later variant. Buyers should concentrate on wing spar cracking, exhaust system condition, engine overhaul status and multiengine training.
- Two Continental GTSIO-520-C engines, 340 hp at 2400 rpm. Fuel is 100 or 100LL. Capacity is 175 gal. Max takeoff weight is 6500 lb.
- Mandatory wing spar cap inspection MEL-57-01 covers 411/411A with 15,000+ hours: repeat every 50 flight hours.
- Exhaust AD 2000-01-16 inspections matter on Cessna twins including the 411; failures can start an uncontrolled fuel-fed fire.
- Check engine time: recommended TBO is 1200 hours or at least every 12 years, so calendar age matters on low-time airplanes.

How fast is the Cessna 411?
The Cessna 411 data sheet gives maximum structural cruising speed of 200 kt and never-exceed speed of 231 kt. Registry data for the 411/411A family shows up to 214 kt cruise and up to 1080 nm range.
What engine overhaul interval applies to the Cessna 411?
For the Cessna 411's GTSIO-520-C engine, Teledyne Continental recommends overhaul at 1200 hours or at least every 12 years. Check both engines for hours and calendar age.

Limits and speeds
Never exceed 231 kt, maximum structural cruising 200 kt, maneuvering 156 kt, gear operating and extended 139 kt, minimum control 90 kt (CAS). Full power allows 34.5 in. Hg up to 16,000 ft. Baggage: Model 411 120 lb at station 58.0, 240 lb and 340 lb aft; Model 411A 350 lb at station 71.0.
Wing spar and exhaust history
AD 79-10-15 R2 requires repetitive inspections of the wing spar lower cap areas for fatigue cracks on 411 series airplanes. Service letter MEL-57-01 adds a forward lower carry-through spar cap inspection. The exhaust AD 2000-01-16 requires a pressure test and tailpipe removal. Ask for logbook proof that each was done correctly.
Engines and pilot training
An NTSB-reported 411 accident involved engines beyond recommended overhaul limits. Both had been overhauled about 920 hours before the accident, and the airplane had flown about 30 hours in 6 years. The pilot held no multiengine rating. Check engine and propeller overhaul records and plan type-specific training.

Safety notes
- Further flight with a cracked carry-through spar cap is prohibited; it must be replaced before further flight.
- For the exhaust pressure test, remove all cowling and heat shields, use leak-check fluid, and reinstall parts without preload.
- In an NTSB-reported 411 accident, a pilot with no multiengine rating let speed fall 13 mph below minimum control speed after an engine failed.
