Cessna TTx (400, Corvalis, Columbia, t240, omg Cessna just pick a name)

Takeoff to landing, 3 minutes in a TTx, and it's my first time recording... so lets keep the "your video sucks" comments to yourself. : )

Love the title, considering to purchase a TTx myself. Any advice?

[@mattmurph]

You won't regret it! 08' - '10 are the best value IMO. Whatever you pay for it, it will be worth that or more whenever you decide to move on. I sold mine, and now I want it back.

Is that Eagle's Canyon racetrack down below?

[@mattmurph]

Not sure really... some private track somewhere west of Denton & Gainsville, TX

Nice video and a special thanks for not putting a musical soundtrack on it. Approach looked quite shallow, perhaps just the camera angle.

[@mattmurph]

Thanks! It might have been a shallow approach, I can't remember. I think I filmed that landing when I was still sub 30 hrs in that plane. So my bar for measuring success was still at: can you walk away from the landing?

[@vectors2final36]

I've always wondered, with all the name changes, has there been a standardized name for ATC purposes?

[@mattmurph]

Yes... to ATC it's "Columbia 123DE"... and filed as either a COL4 or COL3 depending on engine size. After 2010 they are all 4's as Cessna doesn't make the 300 variant anymore.

Your comment and video title are nonsensical. A Cessna Corvalis TTx is a specific aircraft model with a type designator of T240. The callsign would therefore be Cessna or Corvalis (Make or Model). Columbia was a different aircraft manufacturer that was bought by Cessna so obviously subsequent aircraft would be called Cessna. The COL4 Cessna 400 and TTs are different models from the T240 TTx.
