Is the Cessna 340A a good plane?
I’ve owned a Cessna 340 for about 25 years. It is a great two- to three-person aircraft with full fuel and baggage.

Small planes cannot reach the same speeds as commercial planes because of their less powerful engines and the fact that they fly at lower altitudes. Most commercial planes also land and take off at higher speeds than small planes cruise at.
