Cessna 404 info please!
Hi,
I am trying to get hold of Cessna 404 Titan opertaing notes, a copy of a flight manual or just general ground school type information about the aircraft. Anything at all really.... Did Flight Safety International ever produce training notes on the 404? Anyone know where I can get a copy?! PM me or post. Thanks! |
BugSmasher, I've got a (complete) photocopied POH for a '77 model. PM me if if that's of any use.
|
More Info Please!
Thanks Plowie, much appreciated!
Anyone else got anything to offer please?! |
C404 engines
Try going to the Teledyne-Continental website for some engine info.I think you'll find that the C404 uses a "GTSIO-520-M" :ok:

Thanks mate. Lots of good educational info on the continental site.
|
Flight Safety did produce a manual for the C404...
Not sure where you'd get one from though. |

Did they tell you why the engines were geared, by any chance? DF. |
Yup, they had to spin the engine pretty quick to get the ponies out of them (375). Can't have a big prop going over 3300rpm!!
|
Spinning them slower also makes them quieter. Also why the engines were spaced further out than most other 400 types, which unfortunately, also results in a greater yawing moment asymmetrically.:ok:

404
By far the greatest cabin class piston twin to fly the skies!!!!!!
And that my friends is un-disputable:ok: |
Loved my time (3000H+) on the mighty Titan. Did several Flight Safety courses over the years and pretty sure I have their complete endorsement manual in a box somewhere. PM me with your contact details- and I'll ship it to you at cost (provided of course I can find the darned thing).

Yes they're good payload carriers. But they don't displace my feelings for the handling of A65-8200 or 70 QueenAirs. 'Bird. |
Great aircraft but better mated to a PT6A then the old geared motor, extra 40 kts and can actually be fully loaded, and the fun you can have with it, just puts a smile on your face.

Hi BoeingBender,

Here, here max weight in a c441 straight to FL310, was even better with the TPE331-10's, TAS of 300kts
|
HAHA, yeah would be a awesome machine would love to get my hands on the C441 but after flying the Jetstream give me a PT6 any day.
|
They also put PT6's on em and called them a conquest. much quieter than the screaming Garret version. :E
CASA became the Conquest killer. whack an Australian only AD on them and canned em all at 22500 hours. broke a few companies in the process.:rolleyes: |
They also put PT6's on em and called them a conquest. much quieter than the screaming Garret version. The Garrett version ate it for Breakfast. They may make more noise, but they do it while they overtake the PT6 powered machine using less fuel :} |
