Cessna 340
The typical cabin-class piston twin buyer is generally moving up from a high-performance single, or perhaps even stepping down from a jet or turboprop. With a need to go places comfortably and efficiently, these buyers recognize that a serious business airplane needs a decent cabin, credible speed and the ability to hack it when there's ice or other rotten flying conditions in the forecast. Pressurization is nice since passengers don't want to spend several hours with a plastic hose stuck up the nose.

January 27, 2012, Ocala, Fla., Cessna 340A
At about 1227 Eastern time, the airplane was substantially damaged following a collision with terrain. The private pilot was fatally injured and one passenger received serious injuries. Visual conditions prevailed. The main wreckage was located about 0.65 nm from the runway. The cockpit and cabin were extensively burned from a post-impact fire. The landing gear handle was found in the retracted position. The position of the landing gear actuator linkage indicated an “in transit” position and was in close proximity to the up/retracted position.
