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.

Subjects reviewed in the following pages include: BASIC PERFORMANCE FLIGHT PROFILES OPERATING ECONOMICS TECHNICAL EVALUATION BASIC SPECIFICATIONS & WEIGHTS Cessna A Textron Company EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This comparative analysis examines the benefits of purchasing the Cessna 350/400 versus the Cirrus SR22/SR22 Turbo. The Cessna 350/400 offers the better value for the following reasons: PERFORMANCE: The Cessna 350/400 offer superior performance • Fewer fuel stops by reason of its greater efficiency and range capability • Shorter flight times resulting from its higher cruise speeds leads to greater utilization AIRCRAFT DESIGN: The Cessna 350/400 offer a better design • Higher quality interior and exterior fit and finish • Greater avionics integration minimizes cockpit clutter and reduces pilot workload • Meets more stringent design criteria – Utility Category vs Normal Category • Engine manufacturer warranty support for turbocharged engine CUSTOMER SUPPORT: Cessna is an industry leader • Comprehensive warranty program • Extensive world-wide service station network • 24 hour, 7 days a week access to parts and technical assistance The following pages detail the greater value offered by the Cessna 350 and Cessna 400. Cessna A Textron Company CRUISE SPEEDS Cruise speed represents the true airspeed for each aircraft at various cruising altitudes. Airspeeds are based on the recommended cruise power setting published in each manufacturer's flight manual or operating/pilot manual (75% or Max Power for the Cessna 350 and Cirrus SR22; 85% Power for the Cessna 400 and Cirrus SR22 Turbo).

  • Pdf Appendix 4B2 Tonkin and Taylor Airnoise Contours Memo Pdf, 243 KB Download
    Memo To: Emma Ensor Job No: 1013185 From: Darran Humpheson Date: 03 December 2020 Subject: Te Kowhai Airfield airnoise contours Tonkin & Taylor Ltd (T+T) has undertaken an assessment of aircraft noise on behalf of Waikato District Council (WDC) as part of their district plan review. T+T has modelled aircraft noise contours of the Te Kowhai Airfield as part of the review process and compared these contours against those provided by Marshall Day Acoustics (MDA) in their consultant advice note (CAN) dated 8 October 2018. MDA subsequently provided their noise model’s input in a spreadsheet on 23 October 2020. T+T received this information from WDC on 27 October 2020 and have used this information to generate new contours using the US FAA’s AEDT 3c1 aircraft noise modelling software. These new contours are near identical to those provided in the MDA CAN, which was generated using the FAA’s INM2 software. The additional noise contribution from taxiing aircraft has a minimal effect on the size and shape of the contours and has been ignored. WDC requested a further set of noise contours to reflect an operational scenario of 15,000 aircraft movements per year, no flights between 10pm and 7am and no flight training school or circuit training flights. The no flights request between 10pm and 7am was already included within the MDA contours. New 55 dB Ldn Outer Control Boundary (OCB) and 65 dB Air Noise Boundary (ANB) contours are included at Enclosure 1. The contours include a comparison to the MDA OCB and ANB contours, which were based on 21,000 aircraft flight movements per annum, which is the equivalent of 25,5538 annualised busy day movements.

    General Aviation Manufacturers Association 2012 GENERAL AVIATION Statistical Databook & Industry Outlook GENERAL AVIATION IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST IMPORTANT AND DYNAMIC INDUSTRIES As an integral and vital part of the aviation system, general aviation provides transportation services and fulfills needs that are increasingly important to the world’s economy. General aviation involves millions of people working to bring the advantages of aircraft to communities around the globe. General aviation touches every aspect of our lives and our economy. The industry supports over one million jobs, tens- of-billions of dollar in revenue, and access to thousands of cities, businesses, services, and manufacturing facilities around the world. General aviation is defined as all aviation other than military and scheduled commercial airlines. General Aviation: › Includes over 360,000 general aviation aircraft worldwide, ranging from two-seat training aircraft to intercontinental business jets flying today; of which 223,000 aircraft are based in the United States. › Contributes more than $150 billion to the U.S. economy annually and employs more than 1.2 million people. › In the U.S., flies almost 25 million flight hours of which two-thirds are flown for business purposes. › Flies to more than 5,000 U.S. public airports while scheduled airlines serve less than 500 airports. The European general aviation fleet can fly to over 3,900 airports. › Is the primary training ground for most commercial airline pilots. The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) represents over 80 of the world’s leading manufacturers general aviation airplanes and rotocraft, engines, avionics, components and related services. GAMA’s members also operate repair stations, fixed-based operations, pilot and maintenance training facilities and manage fleets of aircraft worldwide.

    Page 1 of 5 © 2011 High Performance Aviation, LLC Technically Advanced Aircraft Transition Training By Brandon J. Ray, CFI, CFII, MEI, Master Flight Instructor In recent years, general aviation has benefited from many innovations and technological advancements. We have seen glass cockpits become standard equipment on new aircraft. Satellite datalink weather now helps guide our inflight decision-making and diversion planning. Digital autopilots on Skyhawks now rival those found on the commercial airlines. NDBs and VORs have faded out of the spotlight as GPS and WAAS technology take over as the navigation source of choice. Moving maps and iPads have replaced the traditional paper charts, plotters and E6Bs. To some pilots, "partial panel" means they lost their XM radio and have to revert to their backup iPod. (Tough flight, huh?) HIGH PERFORMANCE AVIATION, LLC Customized Flight Training for Aircraft Owners www.FlyHPA.com (866) 227-8149 Page 2 of 5 TAA Transition Training © 2011 High Performance Aviation, LLC Lots of change... Good or bad? With all the new technology available in the cockpit, we have the opportunity to improve safety and increase our flying capabilities. Unfortunately, the technology can also create distractions and cause pilots to fumble around with knobs wondering, "How do I do that again?" Sure, you can read the manuals and try to figure it out as you go. You'll quickly find that the manuals were mostly written by tech writers (with the valuable input of the lawyers, of course) and aren't always the most efficient way to learn a new system. After trying to learn the avionics and advanced systems while flying, you start to realize that perhaps spending $100-$200 per hour on Avgas while fumbling with knobs probably isn't the most effective use of your time or money..
