1978 Cessna 421CMulti-Engine Piston Aircraft • The Woodlands, TX, USA

This 1978 Cessna 421C (N421KA, serial number 421C0502) presents as a well-maintained pressurized twin with 8,502 total airframe hours and only 315 hours since major overhaul on both Continental GTSIO520L engines, completed in March 2022. The McCauley props show similarly low time at 91 hours each, with the aircraft benefiting from a 26-gallon auxiliary fuel tank supplementing the standard 213-gallon capacity. The avionics suite features dual navigation systems (Garmin GNS430W and Bendix/King KX155), dual transponders including a GTX345 with ADS-B capabilities, and an STEC 60-2 autopilot paired with a Century NSD 360 HSI.
