Inside The $400,000 Cessna 350 Corvalis Plane

This is the Cessna 350 Corvalis, one of the cream of the current crop among high-performance singles. What do you get when you mate a sleek and efficient composite airframe to a high-output Continental engine, advanced avionics, and an ergonomic interior? Sales, and lots of them. And that was the premise behind the original Columbia 350, the normally aspirated version of the company’s flagship Columbia 400, and later Cessna Corvalis series.
The Columbia 350 was notable for its luxury, speed, and advanced avionics, and quickly found a niche among private pilots and small charter companies looking for a high-performance single-engine aircraft that did not compromise on comfort or cutting-edge technology.
However, the early 2000s were a tumultuous time for the aviation industry, with economic pressures leading to challenges across the board. Columbia Aircraft faced financial difficulties and, after an attempted acquisition by Cirrus Aircraft fell through, found itself filing for bankruptcy in 2007. It was at this juncture that Cessna saw an opportunity to expand its single-engine aircraft lineup and acquired select assets of Columbia Aircraft.
Cessna, recognizing the value and potential of these aircraft, rebranded them as the Cessna 350. Under its stewardship, the company maintained the high standards of performance and luxury. but integrated this model into its existing product support and dealer network, vastly improving accessibility for service and parts, which was a boon for existing and new owners alike.
Here is everything you need to know about the Cessna 350 Corvalis.
