Cessna 414A full review | Your low cost personal mini airliner | How Chancellor flies on one engine

[@aerolife1646]

Appreciate your time with us. We just posted a 414A Chancellor video with amazing capabilities and upgrades. I think you'll like that video. Here's the link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmbPfmyEZtV7pZY I always try my best to answer all questions posted here. Thanks

[@MarekMarciniak]

I currently fly a 414 for a company I work for. I always look for more knowledge about the aircraft and I have to tell you - you did a great job with this video. It is by far the best 414 video on KZbin. Thank you !

[@aerolife1646]

Thank you, glad it was informative. Appreciate the comment.

[@garinhess9069]

I've watched several too and agree 100%...best 414 video out there. Thank you!

[@philipccoyner3266]

I almost bought a 400 series Cessna a few years ago, and I am now considering it again … This video was an EXCEPTIONAL Tool for me in understanding the 14’s/21 and what would bet fit my Mission/Budget/etc! Thank you for sharing, and although I was primarily shopping the 414A’s ….this pretty much seals the decision for me that the 414A is the exact right model for me!!! Thank you!

[@aerolife1646]

Glad I was able to help, actually made another detailed video of a 414A. I pinned the link at the top of the comments section above. Thanks for watching

[@industrieundtechnik1761]

Hey philip, I am in the same status. Did you buy one already? Lets get in conract. I am based in europe.

[@billclisham8668]

The 414's have always been my dream plane. It can carry the whole family in comfort with minimum or no stopping along the way. This video was very well done and I learned quite a few things that I didn't know about the 414 platform. Whoever is lucky enough to purchase this airplane will be very happy with it I am sure.

Twin Cessnas are some of the most beautiful twins ever produced. My hat is off to you and your husband for doing such an excellent job on this bird. She deserved it. Your reviews are always good, but this one was your best. I suggest the next plane like this you do you film all the work that you are doing to it. This plane would have produced over 30 hours of video. Video many of your viewers would love to see. I would love to see you guys doing a 310R or a 421CW.

[@aerolife1646]

Appreciate your comment and thoughts. I am happy to hear you think it was the best, it was the most complex so far. It took more than a week to edit. A question for you: We were thinking to publish more flight videos of planes like this, what are your thoughts on that?

[@jamesdoerr4318]

@@aerolife1646 more time in the air would be nice. However, the thing that would be best is if we could see the work that is being done while it is being done. It’s great for you to show the candy at the end some of us would like to see the dirtier side of it.

[@aerolife1646]

@@jamesdoerr4318 That makes sense, thank you for the suggestion.

[@baomao7243]

Beautiful plane from a capability perspective. The additional glass in the cockpit and the thoughtful paint scheme and colors really make it pop; reminds me of a local Pilatus I see here at KRNT. Wonderfully done.

[@aerolife1646]

Thank you very much. Appreciate you watching and your comment. Glad you like the paint scheme!

[@ccasche5088]

Twin Cessna lover for life here. Totally appreciate the effort, details, and crew skills in this video. Aside: I appreciate your family's taste in diesel motorhomes. We have an American Revolution 40, so we are in good company.

[@aerolife1646]

Thank you for your comment, appreciate you watching our video. Never owned an American Revolution but have heard they’re a good motorhome. Diesels do get the job done well, just like the twin Cessnas do.

[@edselreynoso3438]

I remember working on a 414 as a student in Aviation High school during the late '80's. Our aircraft had the wings removed and every panel was removed for different kinds of tasks, rigging flight controls, installing electrical components, etc. You made that 414 look like a million bucks! That was such a nice demo and a beautiful airplane. Great job!!

[@pilotgirl5953]

Sold my Baron and looking to upgrade to pressurization. Love the 414A. Thanks for posting.

[@aerolife1646]

Thank you for the comment and watching the video. Glad it helped. We did a lot of research and comparison with other airplanes including King Air. Considering all the facts it made the most sense to buy 414A. There are some very important details most people don't consider. An example: 10 gallons more fuel burn on 421C will cost $50,000 extra just fuel alone in 1000 hours. King Air would cost a few times more. Please feel free to contact us directly through our company; glad to help any way we can.

[@maxcorder2211]

Very well done. When doing in-flight videos you might consider an introduction by starting with the pre-planning; where are you going from and to; business or pleasure; flight plan planning; weather forecast; alternates if required; IFR or VFR; preflight briefing for passengers and pilots; inflight video; approach planning and landing; post-flight de-brief.

[@aerolife1646]

Thank you, that sounds like a good idea. Appreciate your comment and suggestion.

[@KCPrible98]

Thank you. This is my favorite plane in Microsoft Flight Simulator. I never regretted buying it.

[@caiolinnertel8777]

Nice review. I've owned a 1975 C414 and now have a 1980 C414A and love it. Mostly due to the gear, and it's a little quieter with the engines being a bit further out. I still feel as if I'm missing doing things while flying due to the simple fuel system, my other one had 6 tanks and required fuel management...easy,, but ya had to do it. Very stable platform and I find my RAM IV equipped bird likes it in FL200 to FL230 are for best performance (wind dependent of course) and distance flown. I do a lot of 1 to 1.5 hour flights so 190 to 200 is where I end up most of the time. Love these old birds, expensive to maintain of course but a very capable all around plane. Totally agree with cold weather starts, hate to do that but we don't have the tanis heaters but it's hangered 99% of the time.

[@TIO540S1]

I have a C441 (Conquest II), but your video makes me wonder if I should look at the 414A! Great job on the review, I learned a lot. It's a superb airplane.

[@caiolinnertel8777]

Cheaper in a way, but your turbines are so much more reliable not to mention you are so much faster. If I could afford a 441 I consider it.

[@TIO540S1]

@@caiolinnertel8777 It's been an excellent airplane. Range was the primary consideration and I fly Long Beach to Chicago nonstop in both directions frequently. I started off looking at the Piper Cheyenne 400LS, which is 40 knots faster, has even longer legs, and a service ceiling of flight level 410. Truly an awesome airplane. But there were only 48 or so ever manufactured so I was extremely concerned about service and parts availability. There weren't a ton of C441s manufactured, but there were 350 or so, so I was more confident about service and parts. Even at that, I've run into issues. Still, I'm satisfied that I'm getting what I paid for in the airplane.

I am considering a 340 and I need a great trainer to upgrade from a high performance complex single. I do like the fuel system on this 414.

[@aerolife1646]

The 414A definitely has the easiest fuel system of the twin Cessnas. If you’re looking for a multi engine trainer, the pressurized, cabin class 414A may be a bit of a leap; the 300 series Cessnas are a bit more in reach. And you can always upgrade again later. Thanks for commenting and watching.

Thank you, your comment is appreciated. Buying this plane was an easy decision as it checked all the boxes. Upgrading from this one is not as easy; when considering the operational cost and what is gained, twin turboprops do not make much sense, PC12 is the most logical choice but much higher acquisition cost. I am kind of stuck for now.
