Cessna 414 Chancellor

Cessna's pressurised cabin-class twin for the owner who had outgrown a 310 and did not want the cost of a 421, built 1970-1985 with airstair door, club seating and turbocharged engines. The 414A Chancellor (1978 on) has the longer wet wing without tip tanks, a lengthened nose and up to eight seats.
