Looking to step up from a high-performance single into the world of cabin-class piston twins? Of course you’d consider the Cessna 340. With a biz-aircraft-like presence on the ramp (and generating big invoices at the shop) the 340 series is a sizable leap in complexity and high-flying performance.
Although not without its shortcomings—most notably certain loading limitations and a complex fuel system—the 340 is nevertheless an impressive, flexible and capable airplane that well serves business missions while serving double duty for loading up the family for go-places traveling.
