General Details

The Cessna 421C has a total airframe time of 4987 hours as of July 2019. The aircraft's certificate of airworthiness is valid, and the next maintenance inspection is due in July 2020. It is powered by Continental GTSIO-520 L3B/L4B engines, each producing 375 horsepower. The engines have a total time since new of 1020.1 and 922 hours, with a time between overhaul of 1600 hours remaining. The propellers are 3-blade McCauley units with 2233 hours since new and 215 hours since overhaul.

Performance Enhancements

The aircraft features several performance enhancements, including factory new engines and a full RAM IV conversion. This includes winglets designed to improve altitude performance, fuel savings, speed, and stability. The winglets are engineered to reduce drag and maintain lift capacity with less angle of attack. Each winglet extends vertically 35 inches and has a 10° cant angle.

Avionics

The avionics suite includes two Garmin 430 units for communication and navigation, a Bendix King KX155 for communication and navigation, and a Cessna 400 autopilot. The aircraft is equipped with an Avidyne multi-function display (MFD) with color radar, a Garmin 340 audio panel, and two Garmin GTX 327 transponders.

Other Information  Prime condition and best available in South Africa.  Factory new engines with good times remaining  Full RAM IV conversion including o Winglets (Cost Excluding installation $ 42900) Altitude performance enhancing winglets for these models have been engineered and flight certified to increase high altitude range, fuel savings, speed and stability, just as on a few select corporate and commercial aircraft. Because winglets adjust the center of lift along the wing, the aircraft maintains original lift capacity with less angle of attack… reducing frontal drag and providing increased speed, using the original amount of power. Or, to accomplish an original specific cruise speed, less power is required which saves fuel consumption. Each winglet is a high strength laminated composite, designed to replace the original aluminum wing tip. The wing section of the winglet is a much stronger unit than the aluminum tip which is removed. Each winglet is attached at both the main and rear spar by stainless steel fixtures and rivets across the top and bottom of the wing. Winglets are impregnated with an outer laminate of Thorstrand™ or equivalent metallic fabric of interwoven aluminum. The metallic fabric offers lightning and static electricity protection. In addition, it is a conductor for the static wick which is installed on the trailing edge of the winglet tip. The winglet cants out at a 10° angle and extends vertically 35 inches, with a 2° toe-out angle. Hangar clearance of a winglet aircraft from tip top to tip top is 45.4 feet. o Hydraulic Speed Brakes (Cost to install +/- $15000) Power-Pac Spoilers improve descent rate by reducing lift and increasing drag at the touch of a button. They may be deployed at any speed up to Vne yielding faster descent rates without the need for a major and sudden power change - reducing the potential for engine shock-cooling or loss of cabin pressure. Hydraulic actuated, Power-Pac™ spoilers are fail-safe with auto retract, and they are operational in icing conditions. Deployment is even under all air loads. System weight is under 20 lbs. Working pressure is at 950 psi. o Stainless Steel engine control cables (Cost to install +/- $4000) Engine control cables are often marginally functional due to permanent bends, binding, heat induced distortion, crimping and general wear from dirt and grime. RAM offers PMA-new throttle, propeller, and mixture cables at a value savings in the best interest of both customer and RAM. (cowl flap and alternate air cables extra) o Cleveland brakes ($5716 Installed) Replace original factory equipment 3 puck brakes with new Cleveland 4 puck system which includs new discs and wheels. Four puck brakes reduce braking time and distance, and they improve brake reliability along with improving braking smoothness. This is an Upgrade for original equipment 3 puck Cessna 340/A and 414 models. This is a replacement new for Cessna 414A and 421C models.
