Operational History
The Cessna 400 is the fastest FAA-certified fixed-gear, single-engined piston aircraft in production today, reaching a speed of 235 knots (435 km/h) true air speed at 25,000 feet (7,600 m).
In one review, airplane reviewer Richard L. Collins of Flying magazine said of the 400:
| “ | Someone asked me if I could come up with one word to describe the G1000 (equipped) Columbia 400. I thought about "neat" and "cool" and "complete" and "integrated" and "fast" and "pretty". Then I dismissed them all and decided on "airplane", because the Columbia 400 is truly what an airplane should be. | ” |
