Beautiful.

I owned 2 Commanders back in the '90s.

With that trailing link gear, doors on both sides, and all that interior room, they were definitely the most comfortable of my 9 airplanes over the years.

Good luck with the sale.

Thanks, Arlen
She is a roomy plane and yes the two doors are really nice especially when you have bad knees and hips.

What’s a typical cruise TAS in a rig like this?

Mike,

I flight plan for 130 kts. Book numbers call out 135 kts at 75% and 130 at 65%

What is the Wing life limit on this model?

6945

Lowered Price

My bride and I are in the process purchasing our winter get-away home in Estero FL. We sat and talked about dropping the price on our Commander and decided to lower our price to $85,000

what happens after 6945? Just curious.


6945

Grounded. There has been talk of a fix on the COG forum but that seems to have quieted down. Although I believe it will gain more action as the fleet ages. The next option is replace with a younger/lower time hours set of wings. They are out there. I had a chance to buy a set and decided I would most likely never get to that point while 3 Tango Charlie was in my care. Now I wish I had and just stored them.

What's the issue with the wings that they have a life limit?

I always seemed to think the Commanders were built on par with the Beech products, in terms of robustness.

Do the 114's share this limitation?

i think the Rockwell Commander was the first aircraft certified under FAR Part 23. And part of that was the airframe life limit. The airplane is built like a National Park outhouse. That is part of the reason why it's slower than other aircraft in the category, it's overbuilt. Of course, to the guy my airport that ran a tank out of gas on takeoff and crashed on the street, he walked away and bought another one.

Byron is correct. Part of the modern Part 23 regulations vs. old CAR 3 (vintage fleet like most Beech and all Mooney products as an example) require a fatigue test, which is incredibly expensive and very time consuming to demonstrate a long life limit. Absent that, I believe the alternative is some shorter life based on some analysis or perhaps relevant fleet history. The manufacturer can do some work after products are delivered to increase the life limits, but that is assuming the manufacturer is still around, and interested in doing that work that won't likely generate any additional revenue for them...

If I were an owner of such a product, I would try to get the owners group together to propose a life extension plan based on demonstrate fleet history, including some detailed tear-down inspections of retired/scrapped aircraft to build a case with the FAA. This would need some heavy DER help, but would likely be far cheaper than the full-scale fatigue test.

There is a member on COG that was working on a fix to be submitted but that seems to have gone quiet. The other fix would be wing swap with a lower time set. They are out there and I'm sorry I did not purchase the set that was listed even if to set them aside for when I decided to sell.
