Cessna 340A - Pilot for a Day 

You are actually so underrated

Dad owns a 340 that I’m able to fly and rack hours in, fits the whole family of 5 comfortably. I’ve logged about 200 hours pic in that plane probably the best bang for buck when it comes to maintenance and fuel burn.

My favorite parts were how this started and ended by the fuel pump. I think that says a lot! Also .. MMMmmm buttons, dials ...

The fuel system is pretty much the same on a 310 and a 421. 2 tip/main tanks, 2 aux tanks in the wing. Fly on the tip tanks for about 45 min to make room for the return fuel from the aux tanks. If you need to use the single locker tank, transfer to the left main/tip tank and crossfeed. If you have two locker tanks then just transfer to the mains and feed off of them. . Not complicated, but not simple like a warrior or a 172 either. Your fuel numbers are about right. I too have a 340 A. By the numbers, your friend has a ram engine, likely a VI or VII. That additional 25HP is really nice to have when you are climbing out or doing a go around or a missed, The engine management you mentioned is more for a geared engine on a 321 than a direct drive like a 340. Once you go airstairs/aisle and pressurized in a twin you can't go back.

Wonderful content! So glad to see this channel goes from strength to strength

A friend of mine used to own a 421. Years ago, I sat in the co-pilot seat for a night flight. I looked out at the right engine and realized it was glowing. Completely freaking out on the inside but trying to remain calm, I looked out at the left engine, which was also glowing. I then calmly mentioned the glowing to my friend, who said, "That's normal. It's just the turbo-charger". I was calmer knowing he was calm but still uncomfortable with the idea of a massive glowing chunk of metal like a nightlight on each wing. Also, I realize the hot section of turbines is no different, but being unable to see it gives me a certain amount of ignorant bliss.

I own a 340A and am actually going to sell it. While it is a fast plane, a P210 Vitatoe conversion goes almost the same speed, with the same usefull load, a much more reliable IO-550 with a 2200 TBO, and 17gph fuel versus 38 gph fuel. Dont get me wrong, its fast and awesome, but when you can do it single, its the way to go.

Great video as always. Nice to see a video sponsored by someone that doesn't have a 60-second+ ad for them in the middle :)

Very well done! And awesome that you could join me with short notice on this flight. Appreciate the butter tarts. I gave a share to the folks in the tower - they appreciated it.

Fellow pilot here, I love this new avenue that your taking with your videos! I'm always excited to see what you come out with next. As well, if your ever in the pilot section of the terminal at CYQA, the coffee is really good ;) Blue Skies!

these videos are awesome! i enjoy the more irl videos, fly a champ!

You become the aircraft’s receptionist … bravo 🙌

video idea: cost to own/operate a glider (doesn't matter which one, should be similar)

As a 2012 fan, this is an awesome plane

Wow this was outstanding, congrats on the continued growth of the channel. Also, way to go DYNON!

My dream collab rn is comple walk around X regular car reviews lol

Cool video, c340 is a great family hauler that actually seems attainable

I really enjoyed the comedy. I really like that plane! Thanks for uploading this video!

Got to fly a Cessna 340 once. You pretty much nailed what it’s like to fly one.

Nice video, Peasant Pilot 😉

If you liked that you’ll love a king air!

So cool! Thanks!

love these type of videos. great job!

Great video! Look forward to seeing a lot more like this

Love this video! Always excited to see a new format.

Man, this plane makes you look like you're on par with ole Andre the Giant for height.... definitely made me chuckle at the visuals

There is only one thing I find more appealing 1970's Cessna panels and this is 1940's Piper. The yearning I feel when I look at the EFIS panel(s) I am subjected to each day is palpable.

This is the evolution we needed

more videos like this 🙏

I was set loose in a c340 in less than .5 of "training" only having flown a 421c and Duke for comparison

Tip tanks!

More more more, get a subscriber with a jet to come on! Rich guys with jets love showing off their stuff!

Nice @sushee!

I used one if these to smuggle muffins, timbits and meatballs in the late 1990s.

Do a flight in a pressurized Piper Malibu next if possible.

You should do a rv12 cost to own

Awesome video! Just curious though, what are the plans for your Complete Flights channel? Like what is it even there for? You only have one video on there, and that’s just a repost of one of the videos on the main channel.

If you do *not* use the plane for all your currency requirements, though, if you have a more cost-efficient option you use for that, then the big bird doesn't get flown enough and that's how piston engines die. Two of them at once. You gonna keep them hooked to a dehydrator 24/7?

How would you compare this with hand flying an older, slightly smaller twin like a Seneca? I've never used autopilot so I don't have much familiarity with "not paying attention to the yoke and rudders"

Love your videos even though i am only MSFS2020 pilot

No. What I wanna see is the owners face when he gets the bill for the annual !!!

I couldn't figure iut who you remind me of then it hit me: Woody Harrelson x Gord Downie

Have a nice day. Cruising speed 400 km/h. range 2000 km. parachute. I want to own a sightseeing plane. What will the price be? Please give me information. thanks.

Can we get a link to that app?

Where can I find the app?

How tall are you?

"nice nimble airplane and doing your taxes," lol.

Casual flight and doing taxes 😂😂😂😂

And doing taxes…..lol and ouch

How tall are you?
