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.

History

  1. 1977 - Launched in 1977, Cessna's flagship turboprop of the pre-Citation era

    The 441 Conquest II was launched in 1977 as Cessna's top-of-the-line turboprop, positioned between the Citation jets and the pressurized piston line (421 Golden Eagle). The first flight took place in August 1975 and certification was obtained in August 1977. 362 units were delivered before discontinuation in 1986, when Cessna decided to focus on the Citation jet line (CJ, Bravo, Excel) and abandoned the entire pressurized turboprop segment.

Curiosities and highlights

Benefits

295 kt cruise, the fastest turboprop from Cessna and of the 1980s

With two 635 SHP Garrett TPE331-8 engines, the 441 reaches 295 kt in high cruise (FL310-FL350), approximately 30 kt faster than the Conquest I (PT6A) and in the range of the King Air B200 (290 kt) of the same era. For executive missions of 1,000-1,500 nm, the speed represents 20-25 minutes saved en route, a significant differentiator in the light turboprop category.

Cabin for 9 occupants and 1,860 nm range in a light twin TP

With 13 feet of cabin length and 64 cuft of baggage, the 441 seats 9 occupants (8 pax + pilot) with comfort superior to the Conquest I and a range of 1,860 nm with NBAA reserves, enough for transcontinental missions such as Miami-LA with a single stop, or legs such as SP-Buenos Aires nonstop. It is the light twin TP with the longest range of its generation.

Limitations

Garrett TPE331 is noisier and requires specific training vs the PT6A

The Garrett TPE331-8 (fixed-shaft, single-lever Power Lever) is known for its characteristic high-pitched sound, both inside and outside, and is significantly noisier than the competing PT6A. Operationally it requires specific training: the single lever combines the condition lever and power lever, requiring different start and ground handling procedures. Pilots coming from PT6 aircraft often need dedicated transition training.

Aging fleet and Honeywell support concentrated in a few hubs

With production ended in 1986, the fleet averages 40+ years. Support for the Garrett TPE331-8 is concentrated in a few authorized Honeywell centers in the US (Phoenix, Atlanta, Stevens Point), with overhaul times of 5,400 hours (longer than the PT6A) but at a higher cost. A modern avionics retrofit (Garmin G600 TXi, GTN 750, ADS-B Out) is mandatory for current operation and adds USD 150-200k.

Curiosities

Conquest I (PT6A) vs Conquest II (Garrett), two turboprop philosophies coexisting

A rare case in Cessna's history, the Conquest I and II coexisted in production between 1980 and 1986 with opposite powerplant philosophies: the I with the PT6A-112 (quieter, simple maintenance, lower fuel burn) and the II with the Garrett TPE331-8 (faster +30kt, higher ceiling, noisier). Comparisons at the time showed that velocity-driven customers chose the II and operations-driven customers chose the I, a classic case study of intra-family segmentation by propulsion characteristics.
