The Cessna 425 Conquest I is a pressurized light twin-engine turboprop, produced between 1980 and 1986. It flies with a range of 1,685 nm, a cruise speed of 263 kt and a ceiling of 33,000 ft, with a maximum takeoff weight of 3,787 kg and a cabin for up to 8 seats (6 in the typical configuration). The page gathers the model's spec sheet, the estimated operating cost per flight hour, price references in the used market and the fleet registered in Brazil, with operators and distribution by state.
How much runway the Cessna 425 Conquest I needs to dispatch: the manual figure and what the charter (RBAC 135) rule requires.
No mandatory factoring: fits 454 of 465 Brazilian public runways.
Verdict per regime (private, charter dry and wet) across 465 Brazilian public runways, with the margin in meters.
Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

The Conquest I was derived directly from the fuselage of the Cessna 421 Golden Eagle (pressurized twin piston), receiving two PT6A-112 engines in place of the GTSIO-520 piston engines. The first flight took place in September 1978 and FAA certification was obtained in June 1980. The positioning was to serve the 421 customer who wanted the reliability and altitude of a turbine without moving up to the King Air. Production began in 1980 and ended in 1986 with 236 units delivered.
The Cessna 425 Conquest I is an 8-seat (pilot included) light twin turboprop with a 1,685 nm range and a 263 kt cruise speed, built from 1980 to 1986. Jet Tracker's catalog currently links no RAB-ANAC registration to this model; that is why this page shows no Brazilian fleet.
Out of production, the model can only be bought pre-owned. The pre-owned median and open listings, kept up to date, are in the price card and the For sale now card of this page.

Unlike its larger sibling, the 441 Conquest II equipped with the Garrett TPE331-8 (faster but known for its characteristic high-pitched sound and higher start workload), the 425 uses the PT6A-112 with reverse flow and significantly quieter operation in the cabin. The PT6A also has a simpler maintenance routine (free turbine, hot section every 1,800h) and a broader worldwide support network.
With 2,545 lb of fuel and the moderate fuel burn of the PT6A-112 engines, the Conquest I reaches 1,580 nm with NBAA reserves, enough for light transcontinental missions in the US (NY-Miami, LA-Houston) or long legs in Brazil (SP-Recife, SP-Manaus with a stop). That is a longer range than the King Air B100 (1,450 nm) in the same cabin class.
Since all production ended in 1986, the Conquest I fleet averages more than 38 years old. Units reach the market with original analog Bendix/King avionics and require an expensive retrofit to meet the ADS-B Out mandate (USD 25k), WAAS GPS (USD 30-50k), CPDLC and PBN. Full retrofits with a Garmin G600 TXi + GTN 750 easily exceed USD 150,000, a significant amount against the purchase price (USD 700k-1.4M).
Cessna ended production of both the 425 Conquest I and the 441 Conquest II in 1986, leaving the pressurized twin-engine turboprop segment for good. Since then, Textron Aviation has only returned to the turboprop market with the single-engine Caravan (unpressurized) and, more recently, the Denali (single-engine pressurized). This limited manufacturer support to critical parts, with a network of specialized maintenance shops concentrated in a few hubs in the US.
When launched in 1980, the Cessna 425 was initially nicknamed Corsair, but the name caused a trademark conflict with the military Vought F4U Corsair and Cessna changed it to Conquest I in 1983, aligning with its larger sibling, the already established 441 Conquest II. Pre-1983 units still carry a Corsair plate on the fuselage and are considered early-production variants by collectors.

The Cessna 425 Conquest I is out of production, so there is no factory price. On the used market the median is around US$ 775,000, varying with year and flight hours; see real listings on this model's Market tab. Reference value as of 06/2026.
The maximum range is 1685 nm (1,685 NM · 3,121 km).
Cruise speed is 263 kt, equivalent to 487 km/h.
The Cessna 425 Conquest I has 8 seats in total, counting the pilot seat: up to 7 passengers.
Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 2,608 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 1,486 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves) plus US$ 224,575 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance), under Jet Tracker's default assumptions (Southeast Brazil, in-house crew, 200 h/year).
