A speeds. Pressurization is an added plus. serious business airplane needs a decent cabin, credible speed and the ability to hack it when there’s ice or thunder in the forecast. Pressurization is nice since the clients don’t want to spend several hours with a plastic hose stuck up their noses. Enter the Cessna 340. Owners looking to step-up from a high-performance single will inevitably make a pass or two through the 340 classified section. And well they should. Although not without its shortcomings—most notably certain loading limitations and an overly complex fuel system—the 340 is nevertheless an impressive, flexible and capable airplane that meets the business mission well and can do double duty as a family airplane. Model History The 340 owes its existence to the boom days of general aviation during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

  • An Adventurous Airventure 2013 by AIN Staff September 1, 2013, 12:55 AM
    An Adventurous AirVenture 2013 by AIN Staff September 1, 2013, 12:55 AM This year’s EAA AirVenture started out cloudy, cool and gloomy, but the weather soon matched the crowd’s upbeat outlook and the entire week was marked by comfortable low humidity and moderate temperatures. “First, it was a safe AirVenture,” said EAA chairman Jack Pelton, “which is always our top priority, and we were blessed with a week of nearly perfect weather. We also met a number of other objectives this year, including reconnecting with our volunteers and members on the grounds, upgrading the food concessions and options and providing more value and activities throughout the day for attendees. We also received reports that many exhibitors had record sales, showing renewed optimism and enthusiasm in the aviation community.” Last year, AirVenture attendance was 508,000, down from 541,000 in 2011. This year’s number was “comparable to 2012,” according to EAA, “with more than 500,000 in total estimated attendance.” A record 821 commercial exhibitors came to Oshkosh this year, up from 802 last year. Total aircraft numbered more than 10,000 (to Oshkosh and local airports), and 2,341 showplanes arrived, which included 867 homebuilts, 858 vintage airplanes, 343 warbirds, 130 ultralights, 92 seaplanes, 27 aerobatic aircraft and 24 miscellaneous showplanes. If anything marred EAA AirVenture Oshkosh this year, it was the FAA’s stance on covering costs for air traffic controllers. While U.S. taxpayers already foot the FAA’s bills through general and aviation fuel taxes, the FAA assessed the EAA $447,924 for controller travel costs associated with manning the Oshkosh tower.
