N414BR

This article covers a specific airframe, N414BR, a 1973-built Cessna 414 Chancellor with serial number 414-0392. The airframe was manufactured by Cessna and carries a United States registration (US). Ownership details and operator/home base are not published, and there are no publicly noted registry actions beyond its registration and valuation. As of the latest available data the airframe is valued at $349,000, a figure that reflects its age, systems configuration, and market comparables.

The airframe is configured to accommodate 7 occupants in a light twin cabin typical of the Chancellor series; specific seating layout and interior finish details are not published. With a cruise speed of 183 kts and a maximum range of 1,327 nm, the airframe is suited to regional cross‑country missions, corporate point‑to‑point transport, and light charter operations within the continental United States. Avionics fit and specific onboard amenities for N414BR are not published; maintenance considerations for this 1973 airframe primarily emphasize airworthiness of the Continental TSIO‑520 series engines and age‑related inspections for pressurization and airframe corrosion control. Operator base information for this tail number is not published.

The Cessna 414 Chancellor occupies a mid‑size, pressurized light twin niche offering transcontinental capability for small corporate or private operators. With a service ceiling of 30,100 ft and cruise performance around 183 kts, it competes historically with other pressurized twins of its era, such as later variants of Beechcraft Baron and Piper Navajo/Chieftain types in used markets. Demand among buyers and charter operators tends to focus on verified maintenance history, engine times, and avionics upgrades; the published valuation of $349,000 for N414BR reflects typical resale considerations for a 1973 airframe, where prospective purchasers prioritize currency of engine overhauls and avionics modernization when assessing purchase and operating cost tradeoffs.
