Do they still make Cessna 310?
The Cessna 310 is an American four-to-six-seat, low-wing, twin-engine monoplane produced by Cessna between 1954 and 1980. The Cessna 310 was a revelation when it was launched in 1954. Its only competitors were the podgy Piper Apache, the Twin Bonanza and promising Aero Commander.
How far can a Cessna 310 fly?
One of the defining characteristics of the Cessna 310 is its impressive speed and range, made possible by its twin Continental O-470 engines, each delivering 260 horsepower. This powerful setup allows the Cessna 310 to cruise at speeds of around 190 knots, with a range of up to about 900 nautical miles. Single-engine service ceiling went up with the turbo models, to 17,200 feet in the T310R; a 310B could hold 7,700 feet on one engine. If there’s an aspect of the 310’s handling qualities likely to catch a novice pilot out, it is single-engine procedures near the runway.
