FAQs About the Cessna 140
How much does a Cessna 140 cost?
Prices vary with airframe condition, engine time, avionics, fabric or metalized wings, and paperwork. In recent years, well-kept examples have commonly changed hands in the mid to upper five-figure range in US Dollars. Restored or highly upgraded aircraft can command more. Ask a specialist broker for a current market appraisal for the specific serial number and configuration at the time you intend to buy.
What engine does a Cessna 140 use?
Most aircraft left the factory with an 85 hp Continental C-85. Many have the optional 90 hp Continental C-90. Common STCs fit the 100 hp Continental O-200. Verify the exact engine model, propeller and any STCs in the logbooks and on the data plate.
What is the useful load of a typical Cessna 140?
A typical example with a 1,450 lb MTOW and an empty weight near 890 lb offers about 560 lb of useful load. Equipment and modifications change this figure, so check the current weight and balance data for the individual aircraft.
Is the Cessna 140 suitable for training and short fields?
Yes, many pilots use the 140 for tailwheel training and short-field practice. The airplane rewards proper technique. Review the POH performance tables and have an instructor confirm actual takeoff and landing distances for your aircraft and field conditions.
What should I inspect before purchase?
Review logbooks and airworthiness directive compliance. Inspect wing and tail structures for corrosion, check control surface condition, confirm landing gear alignment, and assess fabric or metalized wing status. Evaluate engine compression, magneto times, and propeller condition. Confirm the presence and legality of any modifications and avionics upgrades.
