Vehicle description
1978 CESSNA 340A, PRESSURIZED, 5290 TT, RAM IV ENGINES, SUPER SCIM PROPS, LIGHT DAMAGE, CHEAP! THE 340A IS THE IMPROVED VERSION OF CESSNA SMALLEST PRESSURIZED TWIN THE 340. CABIN CLASS WITH AN AIRSTAIR DOOR, 6 SEATS POSSIBLE BUT MOST, LIKE THIS ONE, CARRY ONLY 5, WITH LOTS OF ROOM TO STRECH OUT IN A CLUB SEAT ARRANGEMENT, WITH AN EXECUTIVE WRITING TABLE! NOSE BAGGAGE AREA, IN CABIN BAGGAGE AREA, THE CABIN OF A 340 IS A NICE PLACE TO SPEND A FEW HOURS. THIS AIRCRAFT IS EQUIPPED WITH BOOTS AND A HOTPLATE FOR FULL DEICE. IT ALSO HAS 203 GALLONS OF FUEL, FOR 5 HOURS IN THE AIR! AT 200-215 KNOTS WITH THE 325 H.P. RAM IV ENGINES AND THE HARTZELL SUPER SCIMITAR PROPS! THE PROPS WERE JUST INSTALLED IN 2015 AND HAVE ONLY 91 HOURS SINCE BRAND NEW! REPAINTED IN A VERY MODERN BLACK ‘SWISH’ PAINTJOB IN 2010! TAN 5 SEAT LEATHER INTERIOR. THIS NICE AIRPLANE SUFFERED THE INDIGNITY OF A BROKEN GEAR ACTUATOR ROD ON THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR ON LANDING. THE RESULT WAS THE GEAR FOLDING UP INTO THE STILL CLOSED INBOARD GEAR DOOR, WRINKLING THAT DOOR, SCRAPING THE LEFT AILERON AND LIGHTLY SCRAPING THE LEFT TIP TANK FAIRING AND RETRACTABLE LANDING LIGHT. ALL 3 OF THE LEFT PROP TIPS HIT THE GROUND, BUT THE EXHAUST PIPE DIDN’T SCRAPE. THE NOSE AND RIGHT MAIN WERE FINE, SO THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE FUSELAGE OF THE PLANE AT ALL! NO SCRAPING OF ANY KIND! THE RIGHT WING, TANK, PROP, ENGINE AND EXHAUST ARE UNDAMAGED! THE GLASS IS ALL GOOD, AS IS THE HOT PLATE, OF COURSE. THE LEFT ENGINE WILL REQUIRE AN INSPECTION BECAUSE THE PROP TIPS TOUCHED. THE RIGHT ENGINE REQUIRES NOTHING. LOGBOOKS FOR THE AIRFRAME ARE COMPLETE TO 1980, WHEN THE AIRPLANE WAS REGISTERED IN CANADA AND THE CANADIAN LOGS STARTED. THE ENGINE LOGS START WITH RAM OVERHAULS AND CONVERSION TO RAM IV, THE RIGHT ENGINE IN 1994 AND THE LEFT IN 1998. BOTH ENGINES HAD COMPLETE TAIRDOWN REPAIRS IN 2003 BY LEAVENS AVIATION IN CANADA, AT 1223 AND 773 SINCE RAM OVERHAULS. CURIOUSLY, THEY LIST THE CRANKCASE SECTION (BOTTOM END) AS “HAVING ALL PARTS REQUIRED FOR OVERHAUL REPLACED” AND ALL 6 CYLINDERS BEING REPLACED WITH NEW, BUT STOPPED SHORT OF CALLING IT A ZERO TIME OVERHAUL (TOP PLUS BOTTOM SHOULD BE ZERO SMOH?) THE LOGBOOKS STARTED RECORDING THE TIME AFTER THESE REPAIRS AS ‘0’ SINCE MAJOR, RIGHT UP UNTIL THE LAST ENTRY. THE TIME SINCE THESE “MAJOR LIKE REPAIRS” IS 683 HOURS, RIGHT AND LEFT. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE DASH PHOTO, NO AVIONICS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING. DON’T PAY FOR WHAT THEY HAD, INSTALL YOUR DREAM STACK! STILL INSTALLED ARE ATTITUDE, AIRSPEED AND ALTIMETER ON BOTH SIDES, PLUS A CO-PILOTS KING KCS-55A HIS SYSTEM. ALSO INCLUDED ARE A REALLY NEW INSIGHT G4 EGT/CHT SCANNER, AND A FUEL TOTALIZER/FUEL FLOW DIGITAL GUAGE. ALL ENGINE AND AIRFRAME INSTRUMENTATION IS ALSO INSTALLED AND INCLUDED, AS SHOWN. THIS AIRCRAFT IS LOCATED AT THE LINDSAY, ONT. AIRPORT (CNF4) WE WILL PAY THE TIE-DOWN FEE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION AND YOU MAY CONTINUE IT AT YOUR COST. THIS AIRCRAFT REQUIRES PRECIOUS LITTLE REPAIR AND IT IS ALL BOLT-ON. DO WHAT YOU WILL WITH THE DAMAGED PROPELLOR, INSPECT THE ENGINE, AND HAVE THE NICEST, CHEAPEST 340A IN THE WORLD! GOOD BIDDING!
