The 340 is a pressurized, twin-engine, cabin-class aircraft developed by Cessna. Conceived in 1969 as an evolution of the Cessna 310, the 340 seats six, featuring four passenger seats, an aisle, and an airstair door. The first delivery occurred in 1971. Its design incorporates tail and landing gear elements from the 310 and wings from the Cessna 414.
Cessna, the aircraft’s manufacturer, has a long and storied history in aviation, dating back to 1927. Clyde Vernon Cessna founded the company in Wichita, Kansas, which became renowned for producing a wide range of light, single-engine, and twin-engine aircraft, contributing significantly to general aviation globally.
Access solutions are foundational for detailed maintenance on this aircraft. Products such as the Reach Deck Platform, Modular Stepover Platforms, Super Trestle Scaffold, and Super Maintenance Platform provide access for work across various sections. For the Nose Section, these platforms aid in reaching the radome, antenna, and nose avionics.
Forward Fuselage access is critical for the main entry door, cargo areas, cabin, and environmental control system, often addressed by the Easyraise and Bridge Deck. Landing Gear maintenance is simpler with the Ultraraise and Platform Ladder Warthog. For the Middle Fuselage and Wing Box area, access stands support tasks like fuel tank inspection and oil maintenance.
The Cantilever Platform offers specialized access to the Wing and Engine Pylon, enabling thorough maintenance of the engine body, fan, and hydraulics. A Frame Aviation Platforms and similar structures assist with AFT Fuselage and Tail Section access for rear avionics, vertical stabilizer, and rudder maintenance.
