Operating cost estimates are based on information from Conklin & de Decker Associates' The Aircraft Cost Evaluator (Fall 2007). Cessna does not warrant this information but merely provides this data for the customer's convenience. 2. Based on a 200 nautical mile trip using performance data derived from flight manuals – includes ground fuel. Conklin adds 15% to the calculated fuel burn amount to "…account for less than ideal operating conditions." 3. Labor costs: "The average cost of routine, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance labor for the airframe and avionics." Parts costs: "The average cost of all airframe, avionics and minor engine consumable parts required for normal scheduled and unscheduled maintenance." Maintenance costs cover a 10-year period and are "…based on an analysis of data available from operator experience, manufacturer's data and surveys." 4. "A per hour allowance that is a set aside to cover overhaul of the engine at the recommended TBO." 5. "Includes both parts and labor required for overhaul of the propeller, including the cost of any life-limited parts." CERTIFICATION A Textron Company Cessna Dual carbon fiber wing spars offer added strength to the airframe of the Cessna 350 and 400. The resulting durable construction of the aircraft is verified by the aircraft's certification in the Utility Category. Aircraft certified in the Utility Category endure a higher level of testing including greater G-force loading and more aggressive maneuvers. This translates into more safety for the occupants of the Cessna 350 and 400 compared to its competitors.

Flight instrumentation, engine performance, weather, terrain, traffic and airspace awareness are integrated and graphically overlaid with precise GPS position, course and flight plans on the PFD and MFD. An alpha-numeric keypad allows direct data entry and enables pilots to perform PFD and MFD functions from an accessible location on the center console. Enhanced situational awareness provided by the various mapping functions increases safety. The integrated GFC700 autopilot decreases pilot workload and allows for smooth transitions in all phases of flight including coupled approaches. • The Cirrus SR22 and SR22 Turbo are equipped with the Avidyne Entegra avionics package which displays information from other sources such as the dual Garmin GNS430s. This avionics configuration provides less total integration than the Garmin G1000 system and requires more pilot interface. SYSTEMS DESIGN A Textron Company Cessna • The Cessna 350 and 400 are equipped with a unique side stick flight control. This device incorporates a single pivot point and provides the feel of a traditional control stick. The side stick flight controls utilize solid push rods to communicate control inputs to the control surfaces resulting in direct control feedback. • The Cirrus SR22 and SR22 Turbo are equipped with side yokes which replicate the feel of a control yoke. The side yoke flight controls are connected to the control surfaces with springs and pulleys. • The Cessna 350 and 400 doors open in a gull-wing fashion and can be unlocked via the Remote Keyless Entry system. A latch annunciator on the PFD informs the pilot when the doors are secure after which the equipped door seals can be inflated providing an additional sound barrier for a quieter cabin. Overhead doors are less susceptible to ground damage from wind. • The Cirrus SR22 and SR22 Turbo doors are forward hinged and do not offer door seals or remote keyless entry. Cesna 350/400 Cirrus SR22/SR22 Turbo Cessna 350/400 Cirrus SR22/SR22 Turbo SYSTEMS DESIGN A Textron Company Cessna • The Cessna 350 and 400 feature the Precise Flight Speed Brake System. This system is deployable at any airspeed up to V NE and provides an alternative method to slow the aircraft without the need for an excessive power reduction. • The Cirrus SR22 and SR22 Turbo are not equipped with speed brakes and may require a power reduction to maintain V A in turbulent weather which may cause excessive cooling on descent. • The Cessna 350 and 400 offer redundant electrical systems comprised of two 60 amp alternators connected by a crosstie switch. Each alternator is capable of supporting the aircraft's entire electrical load which provides a fully redundant source of electrical power. • The Cirrus SR22 and SR22 Turbo is equipped with one 60 amp primary alternator and one 20 amp secondary alternator. In the event of primary alternator failure, electrical loads must be shed and various non-essential systems such as the MFD, audio panel, and flaps will not function.
