Columbia Aircraft Columbia 300 history and development
The Columbia 300 is the normally aspirated early member of the certified Columbia composite four-seat line. Its POH identifies the Continental IO-550-N, 310 hp, a 3,400 lb maximum gross weight and 106 gallons total / 98 usable fuel. These aircraft later entered the Cessna/Corvalis type-design lineage, so model identity and POH branch are important when comparing specifications.

Standard total fuel: 106 U.S. gallons. Standard usable fuel: 98 U.S. gallons. Usable fuel can depend on POH revision and tank calibration; verify aircraft-specific documentation.
Columbia Aircraft Columbia 300 model applicability and configuration
Use the Columbia POH/AFM applicable to the exact model and serial number. Do not substitute 300/350/400 weight or engine data between models.
