We cruised along under a high gray overcast at 13,500 feet, solitary in the sky over the winter patchwork Kansas countryside. On the gauges were figures that a pilot of any single-engine nonturbine airplane would be delighted to see: 210 knots true while burning 18 gph. This was the kind of true airspeed that 30 years ago you’d only see in a cabin-class twin. Today, we were doing it in a low-wing carbon fiber Cessna, the newly recertified TTx.
We Fly: Cessna TTx
Key Takeaways:
- The Cessna TTx (T240) has been newly recertified after a significant redesign, resulting in a lighter, stronger carbon fiber airframe with an increased useful load.
- It boasts a completely restyled interior and a state-of-the-art panel featuring the advanced Garmin G2000 avionics system, including redundant backup instruments.
- The TTx offers class-leading performance with typical cruise speeds around 210 knots, combined with sophisticated safety features like Garmin's ESP envelope protection and a fully coupled missed approach capability.
