I currently fly a 414 for a company I work for. I always look for more knowledge about the aircraft and I have to tell you - you did a great job with this video. It is by far the best 414 video on KZhead. Thank you !
Thank you, glad it was informative. Appreciate the comment.
I've watched several too and agree 100%...best 414 video out there. Thank you!
I almost bought a 400 series Cessna a few years ago, and I am now considering it again … This video was an EXCEPTIONAL Tool for me in understanding the 14’s/21 and what would bet fit my Mission/Budget/etc! Thank you for sharing, and although I was primarily shopping the 414A’s ….this pretty much seals the decision for me that the 414A is the exact right model for me!!! Thank you!
The best aircraft walkthroughs on KZhead, great work.
Thank you very much, really appreciate your comment and watching our videos.
The 414's have always been my dream plane. It can carry the whole family in comfort with minimum or no stopping along the way. This video was very well done and I learned quite a few things that I didn't know about the 414 platform. Whoever is lucky enough to purchase this airplane will be very happy with it I am sure.
Let’s go half on it
@@laquanarchappelle586 I'll have to pass on that idea. I have had a stroke and can no longer speak and the FAA and ATC are kinda funny about being able to talk to the people flying airplanes.....LOL
@@billclisham8668I’m sorry to hear that man 😢
Twin Cessnas are some of the most beautiful twins ever produced. My hat is off to you and your husband for doing such an excellent job on this bird. She deserved it. Your reviews are always good, but this one was your best. I suggest the next plane like this you do you film all the work that you are doing to it. This plane would have produced over 30 hours of video. Video many of your viewers would love to see. I would love to see you guys doing a 310R or a 421CW.
Appreciate your comment and thoughts. I am happy to hear you think it was the best, it was the most complex so far. It took more than a week to edit. A question for you: We were thinking to publish more flight videos of planes like this, what are your thoughts on that?
@@aerolife1646 more time in the air would be nice. However, the thing that would be best is if we could see the work that is being done while it is being done. It’s great for you to show the candy at the end some of us would like to see the dirtier side of it.
@@jamesdoerr4318 That makes sense, thank you for the suggestion.
Beautiful plane from a capability perspective. The additional glass in the cockpit and the thoughtful paint scheme and colors really make it pop; reminds me of a local Pilatus I see here at KRNT. Wonderfully done.
Thank you very much. Appreciate you watching and your comment. Glad you like the paint scheme!
Excellent comprehensive tour of a stunning airplane, thank you very much indeed!
AS PROFESSIONAL PRESENTATION AS IVE EVER SEEN ! FANTASTIC !
Great job on the review!!
Your knowledge of the workings of this aircraft is quite exceptional. Excellent info delivery too btw.
One expert, detailed review of a magnificent airplane.
Excellent work, Thank you for all the hard work!
That Was Great! I See The Arrow & The Cardinal In The List, Too. Glad I Found Your Channel. Thank You.
Always love your videos. Thanks so much.
You are welcome, we appreciate your comment. Thank you
I'm glad you are making new videos. I enjoy the detailed information you provide. On a side note I did a lot of my flight training at the Fergus Falls airport beck in 78.
Appreciate the compliment. It has been a while but planning to make more soon.
Very nice detailed video! Excellent job!
Thank you for sharing this aircraft.
You are welcome, thank you for watching and the comment
@@aerolife1646 You are also welcome. Thanks.
Twin Cessna lover for life here. Totally appreciate the effort, details, and crew skills in this video. Aside: I appreciate your family's taste in diesel motorhomes. We have an American Revolution 40, so we are in good company.
Thank you for your comment, appreciate you watching our video. Never owned an American Revolution but have heard they’re a good motorhome. Diesels do get the job done well, just like the twin Cessnas do.
Excellent video, all the right information.
Stunning aircraft!
Thank you very much, it was a custom designed paint theme that came out very nicely. Appreciate the comment
A very detailed review on such a lovely plane many thanks for sharing thank you
Great job, beautiful plane!
Thank you, it turned out very nicely.
Excellent! Thank you!
Appreciate the comment, thank you for watching
Sold my Baron and looking to upgrade to pressurization. Love the 414A. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for the comment and watching the video. Glad it helped. We did a lot of research and comparison with other airplanes including King Air. Considering all the facts it made the most sense to buy 414A. There are some very important details most people don't consider. An example: 10 gallons more fuel burn on 421C will cost $50,000 extra just fuel alone in 1000 hours. King Air would cost a few times more. Please feel free to contact us directly through our company; glad to help any way we can.
I remember working on a 414 as a student in Aviation High school during the late '80's. Our aircraft had the wings removed and every panel was removed for different kinds of tasks, rigging flight controls, installing electrical components, etc. You made that 414 look like a million bucks! That was such a nice demo and a beautiful airplane. Great job!!
Thank you. This is my favorite plane in Microsoft Flight Simulator. I never regretted buying it.
Excellent plane and excellent video 👍 Thank you ))
LOVED THAT VIDEO! GREAT JOB!
Thank you for watching and the comment
You guys are the best!
Thank you, appreciate it.
Fantastic! Thank you very much.
You’re welcome, thank you for the comment
Excellent video! I'm not a pilot but you explained everything so well that I understood almost all of it.
Thanks for the excellent video, for a really great airplane!
You're welcome, thanks for watching and the comment
This is a beautiful plane, we have missed you, since it's been awhile since your last video😊
It did turn out beautifully. Thank you for your comment. We are planning to do some more videos soon, this one took quite some time to record and put together so hopefully we will have some free time now that it is done.
Fantastic Video!!! I own a 1969 C414. It's a terrific airplane that I love to fly. Thank you so much for your video.
You’re very welcome, thank you for your comment. They are great planes to own
Another perfect airplane!
Thank you, this plane had a lot of time spent on it to make it what it is. Appreciate your comment and you watching our videos.
One of my favorite planes in MSFS2020. :)
I'd like to try it on the sim, haven't had a chance to yet.
thank you. Well done.
Thank you, appreciate the comment
The Most huh well ok I subscribed since this is the most detailed review.
Beatiful video thanks.
Thank you for the comment, glad you enjoyed it.
Very well done. When doing in-flight videos you might consider an introduction by starting with the pre-planning; where are you going from and to; business or pleasure; flight plan planning; weather forecast; alternates if required; IFR or VFR; preflight briefing for passengers and pilots; inflight video; approach planning and landing; post-flight de-brief.
Thank you, that sounds like a good idea. Appreciate your comment and suggestion.
Very informative.
Really superb video.
Thanks for Sharing
Of course, thanks for watching.
Great Review... Thanks ';-)
A great plane!
Very nicely done
Thank you
Very nice!
Thank you for watching
I have a C441 (Conquest II), but your video makes me wonder if I should look at the 414A! Great job on the review, I learned a lot. It's a superb airplane.
Cheaper in a way, but your turbines are so much more reliable not to mention you are so much faster. If I could afford a 441 I consider it.
@@caiolinnertel8777 It's been an excellent airplane. Range was the primary consideration and I fly Long Beach to Chicago nonstop in both directions frequently. I started off looking at the Piper Cheyenne 400LS, which is 40 knots faster, has even longer legs, and a service ceiling of flight level 410. Truly an awesome airplane. But there were only 48 or so ever manufactured so I was extremely concerned about service and parts availability. There weren't a ton of C441s manufactured, but there were 350 or so, so I was more confident about service and parts. Even at that, I've run into issues. Still, I'm satisfied that I'm getting what I paid for in the airplane.
I enjoyed it
Thank you
You're welcome, thank you for watching
Nice review. I've owned a 1975 C414 and now have a 1980 C414A and love it. Mostly due to the gear, and it's a little quieter with the engines being a bit further out. I still feel as if I'm missing doing things while flying due to the simple fuel system, my other one had 6 tanks and required fuel management...easy,, but ya had to do it. Very stable platform and I find my RAM IV equipped bird likes it in FL200 to FL230 are for best performance (wind dependent of course) and distance flown. I do a lot of 1 to 1.5 hour flights so 190 to 200 is where I end up most of the time. Love these old birds, expensive to maintain of course but a very capable all around plane. Totally agree with cold weather starts, hate to do that but we don't have the tanis heaters but it's hangered 99% of the time.
Wow, speaking of blowing your own trumpet.
Amazing video, can you do one on a 421c?
I have a friend that owns a Cessna 414 here in Miami Florida it's a great aircraft to fly to the Caribbean and the Bahamas very low-cost versus a King Air it's one of the best aircraft
It is a good option for those island flights. Thanks for watching
33:50 props
Super video. Will look forward to more!!! Is it impolite to ask how much this bird cost you, AND, the cost of the upgrades?
Beautiful bird
Thank you, the updated paint and interior came together nicely for us. Appreciate your comment.
This is the first time I saw your videos, great stuff !! Do you have to worry about shock cooling the engine much?
Excellent video, and much appreciated! What are you considering for your replacement of the 414A?
Thank you, your comment is appreciated. Buying this plane was an easy decision as it checked all the boxes. Upgrading from this one is not as easy; when considering the operational cost and what is gained, twin turboprops do not make much sense, PC12 is the most logical choice but much higher acquisition cost. I am kind of stuck for now.
I love GA aircraft reviews
Thanks for watching
I think the universe is telling me to get my licence and buy this plane. My dad had one in the 80s. So I decide to look this plane up on flight radar, and its last flight was into Fayetteville, (FAY). My surname? Fay. 😮😅
What a coincidence, glad you enjoyed watching.
I fly this aircraft in Microsoft Flight simulator. Even in the simulator, it is the best in its category 🎉
Does it have a lavatory seat?
What company did your avionics upgrade and do you have a contact #
Having a carry-on or something to put in each baggage area to show scale and size of each area would have been appreciated. Can you fit skis/golf clubs in the nose?
Is this plane still available..?
12 gallons a side? Wow, what’s your cruise speed at that setting and range? Love your panel ❤
Single engine climb rate at 290 fpm does not impress on a hot and high day
Price?
Your channel is not updating, you're putting out new videos but we can't see them
“Actually”
The videos on this channel are far too thorough to be classified as just a review. They’re more like a documentary.
Thank you Fritz, glad you enjoyed and appreciate the comment.
Camera person needs to focus on
Oh, you mean you have inventory now? I thought you guys just advertised planes that have long since sold…
Junk
She sounds like a robot who ends every sentence on the same high pitched note
Thank you for the comment. If you describe more or how to correct it that would be helpful.
Hey AeroLife, what aeroplane would your recoment for a small regional airline for up to 19 PAX (unlimited budget)?
