About the Cessna 335

Type certificated 1979

Overview

The Cessna 335 is an unpressurised, lighter-weight version of the Cessna 340. Marketed briefly between 1979 and 1980, it was intended as a lower-cost alternative for owners who wanted the cabin-class experience and twin-engine security without the maintenance complexity of a pressurisation system.

In the market, the 335 struggled to find buyers. Only 65 were built before Cessna discontinued the model. Most cabin-class buyers preferred to pay the additional cost for the pressurised 340, and budget-conscious twin buyers gravitated to the lighter, less complex Cessna 310 instead. The result is a rare aircraft today: well-built, capable, and meaningfully cheaper than a 340 to acquire and maintain, but with a small support network and a thinner resale market.

Key Features for GA Buyers

Cabin-class comfort. Features the same airstair door and centre-aisle cabin as the 340, offering a much more professional feel than the 310 at a lower price than its pressurised sibling.
Reduced complexity. By removing the pressurisation hardware, the aircraft is lighter and simpler to maintain, which translates to a slight increase in useful load over an equivalent 340.
Turbocharged performance. The Continental TSIO-520-EB engines provide excellent high-altitude performance, even if the occupants must wear supplemental oxygen to utilise it.

Trade-offs

Oxygen requirement. Because the 335 lacks pressurisation, flying in the teens or flight levels (where the turbocharged engines are most efficient) requires supplemental oxygen for everyone on board.
Rarity. With only 65 units ever produced, finding a 335 on the market is difficult, and some 335-specific interior parts can be harder to source than the equivalent 340 components.
Resale market. Most buyers in this class prefer the pressurised 340, which can make the 335 harder to sell despite its lower acquisition cost.
