Cessna 400 (Columbia 400) for Sale — The Fast Four You Can Actually Afford to Own
The Cessna 400 — Columbia 400 before the Cessna acquisition — is the turbocharged, faster sibling of the Cessna 350, adding a Continental TSIO-550-C turbocharged engine at 310 horsepower to the same composite airframe to produce a four-seat single-engine aircraft that cruises at approximately 235 mph (204 knots) — making it one of the fastest certified piston singles available at any price. For pilots who need to cover significant distances in minimum time without stepping up to turbine operating costs, the Cessna 400 delivers a compelling combination of composite efficiency, turbocharged high-altitude performance, and Garmin G1000 avionics sophistication.
Why the 400 Stands Apart
The Cessna 400's turbocharged Continental TSIO-550 maintains rated power to significantly higher altitudes than naturally aspirated engines, allowing the aircraft to cruise above weather at speeds that make it genuinely competitive with early turboprops on many mission profiles. The Garmin G1000 avionics provide the situational awareness and automation that high-speed IFR operations demand. And the composite airframe's inherent corrosion resistance and paint durability reduce the long-term maintenance costs that metal aircraft owners must accept.
