CESSNA 414A Model Guide
CESSNA 414A · Model Guide
Overview
CESSNA 414A is a pressurized twin-engine piston Cessna (the Chancellor) with Continental TSIO-520-NB engines. The wider 414 family is listed at up to 7 passengers, up to 225 kt cruise and up to 1310 nm range. Those are family maxima, not 414A figures. The listings reviewed show RAM-converted engines of 325 to 335 hp with a 1,600 hour TBO.
- Listings show 7,087 lb max takeoff weight on a 1981 RAM VII, with 2062 lb useful load and 206 gal fuel. A VG-equipped 1979 example is listed at 7,100 lb.
- Two 1979 listings ask $354,000 and € 299.000 (excluding EU VAT). Judge each aircraft on its logs, engine times and modifications, not on price alone.
- Engine time matters. The TSIO-520-NB TBO is 1,600 hours. One listing shows 379 hours since major overhaul and another shows 1111.
- Several ADs and mandatory service letters apply: engine mount beams, wing spars, nacelle fittings, and flaps on aircraft with STC SA892NW.

Equipment seen in listings
A 1979 example has RAM Series IV 325 HP engines, micro vortex generators for a 350 pound gross weight increase, full de-ice (FIKI), air conditioning, a Garmin G600, an S-TEC 55X autopilot and weather radar. A 1981 RAM VII lists 335 HP engines, a 77 cubic foot oxygen system, a heated windshield, RAM winglets and GAMI injectors.
Inspect first: ADs and service letters
The CASA AD on engine mount beams calls for radiographic crack inspection. FAA AD 2005-05-51 requires wing spar inspections unless the spar strap modification (SB MEB02-5, kit SK402-47) is fitted. Textron MEL-54-03 sets nacelle fitting replacement at 1,000 flight hours or 12 months for some part numbers. AD 2012-23-01 covers the flap system on aircraft with STC SA892NW.
Engine-out and pressurization basics
The RAM VII emergency checklist gives 110 KIAS for one-engine-inoperative best rate of climb and 79 KIAS for air minimum control speed. It warns against an engine-inoperative go-around once flaps are extended beyond 15. It also lists cabin overpressure as over 5.3 PSI.
Summary written by AI from the source document. Check the original before relying on it. See which parts of Sprinkle are written by AI.
Safety notes
- Wing spar cracking: AD 2005-05-51 warns that a wing failure could cause loss of control. Confirm the spar strap modification is fitted and documented.
- Engine mount beam cracks require inspection under the CASA AD. Ask for radiographic inspection records and any repairs.
- Do not attempt an engine-inoperative go-around after flaps are extended beyond 15, because level flight may not be possible.
