Columbia Aircraft Columbia 400 history and development
The Columbia 400 is the turbocharged member of the Columbia line. The TSIO-550-C is rated at 310 hp. Published POH/specification data give 3,600 lb MTOW, 3,420 lb MLW, 3,300 lb MZFW and 106 gallons total with approximately 98 gallons usable in the represented configuration. These aircraft later entered the Cessna/Corvalis type-design lineage, so model identity and POH branch are important when comparing specifications.
