See with Pro

Pro 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. 1978First flight
  2. 1980 - Lançado em 1980 como turbo do Cessna 421 Golden Eagle

    O Conquest I derivou diretamente da fuselagem do Cessna 421 Golden Eagle (pistão twin pressurizado), recebendo dois PT6A-112 no lugar dos GTSIO-520 a pistão. O voo inaugural ocorreu em setembro de 1978 e a certificação FAA foi obtida em junho de 1980. O posicionamento era atender o cliente do 421 que queria a confiabilidade e altitude do turbo sem migrar para o King Air. A produção começou em 1980 e foi encerrada em 1986 com 236 unidades entregues.

Curiosities and highlights

Benefits

PT6A-112 entrega operação mais quieta e manutenção simples vs Garrett TPE331

Diferente do irmão maior 441 Conquest II equipado com Garrett TPE331-8 (mais rápido mas conhecido pelo som agudo característico e maior workload em start), o 425 utiliza PT6A-112 com fluxo reverso e operação significantly mais silenciosa em cabine. O PT6A também tem rotina de manutenção mais simples (free turbine, hot section a cada 1.800h) e cadeia mundial de suporte mais ampla.

Alcance de 1.580 nm permite voos transcontinentais light

Com 2.545 lb de combustível e fuel burn moderado dos PT6A-112, o Conquest I alcança 1.580 nm com NBAA reserves, suficiente para missões transcontinentais light nos EUA (NY-Miami, LA-Houston) ou trechos longos no Brasil (SP-Recife, SP-Manaus com escala). É um alcance superior ao do King Air B100 (1.450 nm) na mesma faixa de cabine.

Limitations

Frota envelhecida exige retrofit completo de avionics para padrão atual

Como toda a produção encerrou em 1986, a frota Conquest I tem em média mais de 38 anos. As unidades chegam ao mercado com avionics analógicos Bendix/King originais e exigem retrofit caro para atender mandato ADS-B Out (USD 25k), GPS WAAS (USD 30-50k), CPDLC e PBN. Retrofits completos com Garmin G600 TXi + GTN 750 facilmente ultrapassam USD 150.000, valor significativo frente ao preço de aquisição (USD 700k-1.4M).

Descontinuação em 1986 e Cessna saiu definitivamente do segmento turboprop

A Cessna encerrou simultaneamente o 425 Conquest I e o 441 Conquest II em 1986, saindo definitivamente do segmento twin-engine turboprop pressurizado. Desde então, a Textron Aviation só voltou ao mercado turboprop com o Caravan single-engine (não pressurizado) e mais recentemente o Denali (single-engine pressurizado). Isso tornou o suporte de fabricante limitado a peças críticas, com cadeia de oficinas especializadas concentrada em poucos hubs nos EUA.

Curiosities

Inicialmente comercializado como Corsair antes do nome Conquest I

Quando lançado em 1980, o Cessna 425 foi inicialmente apelidado Corsair, mas o nome gerou conflito de marca com a aeronave militar Vought F4U Corsair e a Cessna mudou para Conquest I em 1983, alinhando com o irmão maior 441 Conquest II já estabelecido. As unidades pré-1983 ainda exibem placa Corsair na fuselagem e são consideradas variantes early-production por colecionadores.
