Cessna 350 / Cessna 400

Cessna is now selling the Columbia 350 and 400 as the Cessna 350 and
400. If you want to order one, talk to me. :-)

Seriously, 350 and 400? Might be a little confusing for the owners of
certain twins.

Precedent set.

305, for instance.



They really ought not to name them Cessnas, though. It always seems
slightly dishonest and/or makes the airplane sound like it's being
fostered, which, I suppose, it is..

Or when an IA looks up ADs for a Cessna 400 and finds a Spar AD for the
'Cessna 400 series'

Is that the way the AD is written? Not specific to type? The 400s were very
varied machines and I doubt the spars were common to all of them..

Anyhow, there's already an anomoly with the Cessna 305, for one.

Mm, yeah, could get messy if you have an idiot AI doing your annual.
"Sorry, but the AD has to be done", But Billy Joe Bob, the 400 isn;t
really a Cessna and doesn;t even have a metal spar!"
"Don';t matter, sez here it;s gotta be done, so it;'s gotta be done"

A friend of mine had this sort of encounter with some tit of an AI who
looked at his wood spars and condemnde them because he found logitudinal
splits. If he'd bothered to look at the converging grain, he would have
seen that it was a lminated spar and he was looking at the glue line....
