cessna 425 takeoff
20 十二月 2020

As noted above, the Conquest cockpit is well organized. Horsepower: 450 Gross Weight: 8200 lbs Top Speed: 263 kts Empty Weight: 4915 lbs Cruise Speed: 250 kts Fuel Capacity: 366 gal Stall Speed (dirty): 79 kts Range: 1461 nm Takeoff: Landing: Ground Roll: 2047 ft Ground Roll 952 ft: Over 50 ft obstacle: 2341 ft Over 50 ft obstacle: 2145 ft Rate Of Climb: 2027 fpm Rate of Climb (One Engine): 434 fpm Ceiling: 34700 ft Ceiling (One Engine): 18500 ft The pilot made no entries in his pilot logbook indicating that he had flown at night in the six-month time frame preceding the accident. Its key strengths are relative economy with good performance, including balanced-field numbers, excellent handling characteristics (including face-saver landings), a well-designed cockpit for single-pilot operation, good CG range, good loading options and a comfortable cabin. A noticeable improvement was made in the later run of 425s: better interior design, fit and finish. But the 70s were almost ready to yield to the 1980s before Cessna type-certificated its first turboprop, the Model 441, in August 1977. Even so, pitch changes resulting from configuration adjustments are modest. Despite the fact no 425s have been produced for more than two decades, operators tell us that Cessna support is commendable, particularly when compared to most other manufacturers or former manufacturers. When you consider the temperature and humidity variations between sea level at summer and operation for a few hours in temperatures of -20 to 30 degrees centigrade, the possibility for condensation/contamination/corrosion is evident. Still, the aft fuselage structure is much beefier than that of the 421. Individually, there are 1685 labor-hours of inspections, plus NDT. text-align: left; One reader told us he wishes he could turn back the clock and swap his 425 for his old 421, which he remembered as superior in every way to the Conquest. Cessna also can be a good source of research materials for determining what the proper maintenance status of a 425 should be. Just count the rivets from the cabin door aft on the two airplanes. Each airplane has an ideal, low-vibration RPM that can be determined with practice. Beech had been busy making its King Air line since the mid-1960s, while Piper gained FAA certification of its first Cheyenne model in 1972. This is a useful addition because the annunciator panel can be hard to see in direct sunlight, even though it is mounted at the top of the panel, under the glareshield. Good propeller balancing makes it even better. /* custom css */ .td_uid_104_5fde3c9d04ed4_rand.td-a-rec-img { But that is at a takeoff weight of 7450 for the 421 and 8600 for the 425-more than half a ton of difference. There are no peculiar tricks, however. We had the airplane re-painted, added several items to the panel including a GMA 340 audio panel, a GNS 530, GTX 330, Skywatch 497 and re-installed the WXR 300 radar. It also is quite comfortable for most pilots of average to large size. Full usable fuel weight of 2452 pounds (366 gallons) and average optional equipment weight of 375 pounds left a pretty miserly 503-pound payload. Cessna 441 Conquest Aircraft Information. With the already mentioned accelerate/stop and accelerate/go distances of 3800 and 3360 feet, a properly qualified pilot can safely operate from 4000-foot runways with room to spare. Even at its $75,000 additional cost, it is a big improvement over the ARC (Cessna) 1000 FCS, which has been one of the weak links in the 425 and other Cessna twins. At its introduction as the Corsair, the 425 had a maximum takeoff weight of 8,200 pounds and basic empty weight of 4,870. Landing distance (50′) 2,130. But even there, we had choices. The engines were overhauled at 3600 hours by Vector Aerospace at a cost of right at $200,000 each, which is higher than average and attributed to the first-run overhaul of older engines. The Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives (B3A) was established in Geneva in 1990 for the purpose to deal with all information related to aviation accidentology. Regular readers of aircraft resale advertisements will note that such programs as Cescom, various engine maintenance programs and good service bulletin compliance history are considered sales advantages. Visibility is good. Too, and for the most part, the low bidder for airframe or engine work should be avoided like the plague, unless there is evidence to suggest it really is a bargain. No more privateering. All of which makes it highly unlikely Cessna will ever again build a Conquest. Zero-fuel weight dictates that anything between 7000 and 8600 pounds has to be fuel, but that still leaves a healthy payload of crew, passengers and baggage or freight of 1673 pounds for a typically-equipped airplane. This particular 425 was one of only three we are aware of equipped in the cabin with the three-place lounge/divan at the aft bulkhead, in addition to the standard four-place club seating. Control harmony in flight is fair. What other turboprop has the amount of nose baggage (plenty of room for golf clubs or snow ski s), factory equipped with air conditioning, trailing link main landing gear, fits in almost any hangar and for the cost of operation of a turbocharged pressurized piston twin? Plus, the 425 is substantially beefed up and utilizes more robust systems. He anticipated there would be turbulence caused by the surrounding topography and the buildings on the north side of the airport. In this video, AVweb's Paul Bertorelli explains what's... © 2020 Aviation Publishing Group. My Saved Listings Updated: Fri, Dec 11, 2020 10:32 AM. margin: 0 auto 0 0; event of an engine failure. But even there, we had choices. The Cessna dealer that sold the twin would take it on trade and sell it to a first-time twin buyer or to the owner of a light twin, such as a 310R. Next was the Model 425 Corsair in model year 1981. The original Model 441 Conquest became the Conquest II. Although the announcement and introduction by Cessna of the SID inspections were met with anxiety and trepidation, reports from the major service centers and the resulting SDRs indicate the program is productive and the 425 has many, many more years of reliable service to offer. The all new CESSNA SKYCOURIER turboprop was designed for fully loaded high frequency operations and maximum efficiency. All rights reserved. Cessna worked on upgrades that would allow more cabin space and passengers. The cavernous nose houses another 22.4 cubic feet of baggage area with a maximum load of 400 pounds. What some operators of turbine engines never learn, and others learn only after expensive inspections and overhauls, is that heat is both the friend of performance and the enemy of endurance. From both the pilot eye-level perspective and physical/reaction demands, the 425 probably is the simplest of all the turboprops to transition to. Back then, all three companies offered a full range of propeller-driven aircraft, from two-seat trainers to mile-chewing turboprops. Expensive ADs were applied while the company tried to fix the problems: All early Model 441 airframes were upgraded to a later configuration by the factory, at its expense. But the 70s were almost ready to yield to the 1980s before Cessna type-certificated its first turboprop, the Model 441, in August 1977.Now known as the Conquest II, the Model 441 was an evolution of the Model 404 Titan, a piston-powered twin, powered by Garrett (now Honeywell) TPE331-8 Series turboprop engines. 33. The airplane impacted terrain in a vertical descent and flat attitude and came to rest upright on its fuselage and wings. Pilots flying the ILS approach prior to the accident aircraft reported mixed icing during the descent and final approach. The pilot reported that during cruise descent the airplane accumulated about 1/2-to 3/4-inch of rime ice between 8,000 and 6,000 feet. True, many performance numbers are fairly close for the two types. The 425 was very easy to fly and was noted by reviewers for its spacious cabin with large windows for good visibility and comfortable seats. The known maintenance record of the 425 fleet, consisting mainly of service difficulty reports (SDRs) and airworthiness directives (ADs), has highlighted some shortcomings of the design. Prior to departure, the pilot obtained a weather briefing, which reported light rain, mist, and instrument meteorological conditions at the destination airport. An oft-mention specific facility is Yingling Aviation at the Wichita (Kan.) Mid-Continent Airport. The pilot, sole on board, was killed. Among these are compressor washes. The airplane was on the final approach segment of an instrument flight rules (IFR) cross country flight that originated approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes prior to the accident when radio communications with the aircraft were lost. For a nearly 9000-pound airplane, however, thats pretty good. The airplane was born from the 400-series line of twin Cessnas, known for their easygoing flight maneuvers, comfortable cabins, and generous baggage areas. But good training and a bit of experience quickly leads to confidence. Not true. At purchase the panel was the original Collins package with Proline radios, plus the FIS-70 flight director and the Sperry 1000 autopilot. The best-looking Conquest I, with the newest interior and latest paint job may be a beast in disguise. Air traffic control (ATC) transcripts indicated that shortly after entering the holding pattern at 11,000 feet the pilot was issued an approach clearance for the ILS. Cessna’s Conquest I is one of the more easier transitions from multiengine to turbine power aircraft for an instrument-rated pilot. During an ILS approach in night instrument meteorological conditions, the airplane impacted terrain and was destroyed by impact forces and post crash fire. The 421 wins the accelerate/stop race (3630 to 3800 feet), but the 425 runs away in accelerate/go (4960 for the 421 to 3360 for the 425). The accident occurred during dark night conditions. USD $600,000. The pilot’s continuation of the approach with excessive airspeed, which resulted in a hard landing and a loss of directional control. Beech had been busy making its King Air line since the mid-1960s, while Piper gained FAA certification of its first Cheyenne model in 1972. Thats a major reason for unhappiness with the 425 and similar airplanes for many operators. WORLD'S PREMIER INDEPENDENT AVIATION NEWS RESOURCE. Turboprop Aircraft. The reported surface wind was approximately 4 knots from the north-northwest. Typical passenger configuration is the typical number of passengers the jet is configured to accommodate 5 passengers, however each jet will have a custom configuration to accommodate an owners specific needs and will therefore vary. One reader told us the 800 in his airplane had a mind of its own despite many attempts to correct its abrupt pitch excursions. The rather dramatic flat rating in the Cessna installation increases the altitude at which full power can be drawn. The A-112 version originally installed in the 425 is a fairly unsophisticated one that is not highly stressed. Maximum takeoff weight was increased to 8600 pounds in 1983; basic empty weight increased by 52 pounds, leaving most of the increase for payload. Since then, single-engine turboprops like the Pilatus PC-12 and Socatas TBM-700 and -850 have come onto the market, offering equivalent performance (except when an engine fails), modern systems and avionics, similar cabins and around half the fuel burn. In the six-month period preceding the accident, the pilot logged approximately 40 hours total time, 9 hours of actual instrument time and 7 instrument approaches in the accident airplane. Load, fly, unload and repeat, then watch your business grow. Aside from the powerplants, there are a number of distinctions, and very different systems were installed. 288 Thus the nickname “baby carriage.” Pilots transitioning from light twins will have a bit of trouble at first with control pressures, trim use, aircraft performance and weight (inertia). Engine management, from start-up to shut-down, is as important as how well you can shoot an NDB approach where the flying budget is concerned. This, together with generous windows and reasonably comfortable seats, creates a comparatively high degree of comfort. The best approach is to talk to other Conquest I operators to get their recommended service and information sources. While there has been no overwhelming weak point, several problems identified in the field have resulted in ADs. Passenger and baggage amounts can greatly effect the performance of an aircraft since minimum runway lengths, range and speed are all effected by its weight. While on short final for runway 28, the pilot maintained approximately 121 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS) and selected flaps 30-degrees. The SID programs emphasis is to detect fatigue damage whose probability increases with time. Although the 425 does quite well on the original powerplants, the addition of the Blackhawk XP engine conversion to the PT6A-135A engines makes the 425 a real athlete.

At least two companies hold an STC to convert the 425 into an air ambulance while a third-. Of course, various avionics manufacturers have FAA approvals to install upgraded boxes, or modify existing ones. All five occupants were quickly rescued by military personal while the aircraft was partially destroyed by fire. The aircraft has accumulated 550 hours since purchased. Initial climb rate 1,575. For a properly-maintained airplane, dispatch reliability is high, and operational simplicity makes it comparatively undemanding to fly. Basic changes have occurred-which operators on Cescom or on the mailing lists at Cessna and PWC would have known about-that increased propulsion system serviceability and durability (and reduced major maintenance costs). There is a lot of cubic space in both the cabin and baggage areas that could tempt those lacking caution and experience to exceed load limits. At its introduction as the Corsair, the 425 had a maximum takeoff weight of 8200 pounds and a basic empty weight of 4870. Factors associated with the accident were dark night conditions, clouds, icing conditions, low visibility and snow. It can serve as effective early warning and help keep operational readiness up and costs down. .td_uid_104_5fde3c9d04ed4_rand.td-a-rec-img img { The 425s horizontal stabilizer has a distinct dihedral (and, as a former senior Cessna official later said, it really should have been a cruciform tail to negate the adverse effects of propeller wash, now often called whirl-mode vibration, but the company did not want to spend the extra bucks). The 425, in short, was introduced in inauspicious times. Among them, 4 Italians and 2 Madagascar citizens. From the beginning, Collins avionics have been an option worth the price differential over the standard ARC system. Crash of a Cessna 425 Conquest I in Butler: 1 killed, Crash of a Cessna 425 Conquest in Windhoek: 3 killed, Crash of a Cessna 425 Conquest I in Canadian, Crash of a Cessna 425 Conquest I in Harbor Springs, Crash of a Cessna 425 Conquest in Toliara: 6 killed, Crash of a Cessna 425 Conquest I in Bozeman: 1 killed, Crash of a Cessna 425 Conquest in Denver: 4 killed. We purchased our 1983 Conquest I in July 2006, with 3150 hours total time. A genuine programmed maintenance scheme in its later form, Cescom provided more flexible inspection options that could reduce total hours and cost for those who scrupulously followed the recording and reporting requirements. The 425 is widely referred to as the turbine 421. No ice shapes were located on the ground leading up to the main wreckage. } The cockpit and cabin were intact and both wing assemblies remained attached to the fuselage. For instance, one reader who bought a 425 had a nearly $55,000 shock when discovering the original cobalt inlet guide vanes had been replaced by nickel vanes (that large payment included hot section inspections). With sea-level, standard-temperature conditions and gross weight the (well-flown) 425 can clear a 50-foot obstacle after a run of 2420 feet and land over the same barrier in 2120 feet. Heck, Cessna even began selling jets early in that decade. Aside from CG concerns, exceeding maximum loads can cause serious performance deterioration, especially in high density-altitude conditions. The association leased the Model 425 new from Cessna for business travel and later acquired it outright. After approaching the terminal area, the pilot received radar vectors to intercept the localizer for the Runway 35R ILS approach. Given the vagaries of most gauges and the benefits of just a few degrees lower temperature, a little touch of conservatism can mean literally thousands of dollars reduced cost during a hot-section inspection or overhaul, not to mention diminishing the stress that could result in one of those rare in-flight failures. A batch of World War II letters offers a glimpse of the high personal cost of flying bombers and fighters in their intended use. It seems that one of the engine exploded after takeoff. For instance, if a quick landing and turnaround is planned, shutting off the bleed air source from one engine about 15 minutes out, then starting that engine first on the turn-around means lower start temperatures and lower stress on both engines. CESSNA 425 “TITAN” ... Cruise mph 251. The 425, later named the Corsair, was powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney PT6A-112 turboprops. Sure enough, like an oval laid on its side, the Cessna cabin affords a good bit of elbow room. On September 1, 2007, Cessna introduced the Supplemental Structural Inspection Program (SID) for the Model 425, after working with Model 300/400 operators and the FAA. Crash of a Cessna 425 Conquest in Bozeman: 1 killed. Pitch is the heaviest force, and this is by design. Get Insurance Operating Costs Apply for Financing. McCauley four-blade props and speed stacks had been installed by the previous owner, adding to performance. The Corsair is smaller than the 441 and uses 450-shaft-horsepower Pratt & Whitney PT6s versus the 441’s Honeywell (Garrett) TPE 331 engines. There are many thousands of buyers who were lured by good looks, only to find they had bought turkeys. The program consists of the current structural maintenance inspections, plus supplemental inspections, as required, for continued airworthiness of the airplane as years of service are accumulated. It also costs $200,000 less to buy". The combination of good cockpit design and roominess makes the 425 pilot more comfortable than in many other turboprops. For anyone alert and paying attention to general aviation during the 1970s, current offerings from the “big three” manufacturers-Beech, Cessna and Piper-must have seemed like an afterthought. Cessna built 234 of the sturdy turboprops, with limited production spread over the first half of the 1980’s. Let me make an attempt.AOPA has owned a Conquest I since 1983 – well before I came aboard as president in 1991. The typical buyer of a 425 was the owner of a Cessna 340A, 414A or 421B/C. Shortly before touchdown, the airplane "abruptly pitched up and was pushed over to the left" and flight control inputs were "only marginally effective" in keeping the wings level. While the PT6A-112 is a fairly old and mild version, there is much to learn about modifications and recommended procedures. There are good tricks to learn. Search aircraft for sale for free! Some 425s were equipped with the ARC 800 series autopilot, which is even less desirable than the 1000. If you are used to flying a Skyhawk or a Cherokee, that may sound like a lot of runway. Aircraft Performance Modifications, Inc., www.aircraftstc.com-can install aft fuselage strakes the company claims can boost cruise speeds of 400-series Cessnas by up to 12 knots. In November 1977, Cessna announced that it was developing the Model 425. No preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures were found that would have precluded normal operation. By the time Cessna was able to certify the Corsair/Conquest I in July 1980, general aviation production had peaked, and Cessna itself had been going through some very difficult years. The pilot maintained an additional 20 knots during final approach due to gusting winds from the north-northwest. These include glass replacement windshields (although some technicians claim this change has not completely solved cracking and delamination problems), replacement of troublesome torque gauges with electric ones, water drains to control circuit breaker and avionics systems contamination, and shorting, plus a number of engine modifications. Experimentation pays off, because once cruise power is established, vibration is more of a noise-generating factor. A number of improvements have been missed by operators who do not carefully review product information, improvement and service bulletins from Cessna and component manufacturers. The pilot's keying of the microphone and the timing of his speech exhibited decreased coordination during the approach phase of flight. 1983 Cessna 425 Conquest / Clean well maintai... See More Details. In comparison to the King Air C90 "the result was an $875,000 pressurized twin-turboprop that could fly 15 knots to 20 knots faster than the C90, cruise 250 miles farther with four passengers aboard and burn 15-percent less fuel. Some 421s have been modified to accept turboprop engines, making them very similar to the Cessna 425, which itself is a turboprop development of the 421. Post accident examination of the aircraft revealed no evidence to indicate a mechanical malfunction or failure. Buy and sell planes and helicopters online at GlobalPlaneSearch.com. At least the Conquest is not an orphan. The previous owner had taken good care of it, which has been apparent in its low cost of maintenance. After crossing the threshold, the pilot began a landing flare and the airspeed slowed toward red line (92 KIAS). The initial inspection requires the entire series to be completed, which is a sizeable task and not to be accomplished by the average maintenance shop. The 425 was introduced as a competitor to the Beechcraft King Air. Starting with the first 400-series twin, the universally-panned Model 411, Cessna has advertised the wide oval cabin. Rate of climb is good enough to make it practical to climb into the flight levels for even relatively short trips.
