About N1870E

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This entry covers airframe N1870E, a 1979-built Cessna 340A with serial number 340A0655, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). Registry details beyond the U.S. registration flag (US) are not published; ownership timeline: Not published. Operator and home-base specifics are Not published, as are any notable registry actions or formal valuation/condition highlights.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is configured in a typical six-place executive cabin layout, pilot plus five passengers, with optional club or forward-faced seating mixes available as part of the interior arrangement. With a cruise speed of 200 kts and a maximum practical range of 700 nm, operations for N1870E are aligned with short to medium-distance business trips and owner-flown cross-country missions under the fixed-wing multi-engine category. Specific avionics fit, unique onboard amenities, maintenance history, and operator base for this aircraft are Not published.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 340A family occupies a niche for piston-powered pressurized light twins offering pressurization, higher cruise speeds, and elevated ceilings compared with non-pressurized singles. With a service ceiling of 30,000 ft, a six-place executive cabin, and twin Continental TSIO-520 engines, this airframe is positioned for owner-operators and charter operators seeking higher-performance, piston-powered multi-engine capability. Competing types in this segment typically appeal to buyers prioritizing around 700 nm range and 200 kts cruise performance; maintenance and resale considerations for individual airframes such as N1870E depend heavily on logbook completeness, engine and prop overhauls, and interior condition, none of which are published for this specific serial (340A0655).
