Cessna 340 recurrent training
The 340 is the pressurized cabin twin many owners step into from a Baron or a 310, and it asks more of the pilot on every leg: turbocharged engines, a pressurization system and more weight on one engine. Owners ask whether a 340 has to go to a simulator center, and the honest answer depends on the policy. If your underwriter agrees, the instructor comes to your airplane.
Tuition shown takes effect January 1, 2027. Courses before then are at the current rate, so ask us.

Cessna 340 training questions
How much does Cessna 340 training cost?
Cessna 340 initial training is $3,050 and recurrent is $1,800, delivered in your own aircraft at your airport or at ours. Tuition is the same in both places. Travel expenses are added when we come to you, and your aircraft's fuel and operating cost during the flight hours is yours.
Do I need a type rating for the Cessna 340?
No. The 340 is well under 12,500 lb.
Does the Cessna 340 need a high altitude endorsement?
Check your AFM. The rule in 14 CFR 61.31(g) applies when the lower of service ceiling and maximum operating altitude is above 25,000 feet.
Will my underwriter accept Cessna 340 training in my own aircraft?
That is your underwriter's decision, for your experience and limits. Ask your broker first. We can send the aircraft-specific syllabus and CFII credentials to help them decide.
Does a 340 really have to go to a simulator center?
That depends on your policy. There is no FAA requirement for a simulator here, so the answer comes from your underwriter. Ask your broker first.
