Still, there are plenty of pilot/businessmen who couldn’t function without an airplane. These owners typically start with single- The Cessna 340 is a standout thanks to engine airplanes and quickly outgrow payload/fuel flexibility and near 200-knot cruise them for the reasons stated above. 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.

  • Appendix C Aviation Activity Forecast – Silver Comet Field at Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport
    APPENDIX C AVIATION ACTIVITY FORECAST – SILVER COMET FIELD AT PAULDING NORTHWEST ATLANTA AIRPORT SILVER COMET FIELD AT PAULDING NORTHWEST ATLANTA AIRPORT Aviation Activity Forecast This aviation activity forecast is prepared in conjunction with the Environmental Assessment (“EA”) being conducted to assess the potential effects associated with the proposed Part 139 certification and other airport improvement projects at Silver Comet Field at the Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport ( the “Airport” or “KPUJ”). The Airport is currently a public use, general aviation airport located 24 miles northwest of Atlanta, officially opened in late 2008 with a 5,505 foot runway, the culmination of construction that began in mid-2006. Its 23,000 square foot state-of-the-art terminal building was completed in late 2009. The terminal facility has only a single boarding gate, and Paulding County has no plans to expand the facility. The Airport is owned by Paulding County and is administered through the Paulding County Airport Authority (PCAA). The Airport sustained significant damage in a March, 2012 EF-3 tornado. The terminal sustained roof and window damage. A large hangar was destroyed, and 18 of the 23 aircraft based at the Airport were destroyed. Repairs to the hangar and terminal were completed in the Fall of 2012. In addition to the Part 139 project, the airport improvement projects involve among other things, extending the runways and widening the taxiways. In October, 2013 the Airport entered into an agreement with Propeller Investments to manage the terminal building. Propeller Investments has initiated talks with carriers regarding potential commercial service at the Airport.
