Flying the Cessna TTX
What started life as a Columbia and then became a Corvalis is now the Cessna Corvalis TTX. While it hosts many small improvements, the big change is the touchscreen-controlled G2000 avionics suite. Aviation Consumer's Jeff Van West took the pixels and the plane up for a spin.

Beautiful aircraft.....wouldn't mind taking it on a trip somewhere, but I'm glad I learned on the analog panel.
SOOO, beautiful!
Amazing plane and avionics!
One day I WILL own this!

I really enjoyed this video
Incredible aircraft!
Thank you for the video.
When I learned to fly back in the early '70's, "KEEP YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE COCKPIT!" was drilled into me, thankfully. It does seem that with glass cockpit gadgetry, especially when the central controls are located between the two front seats, that there would be too much head in the cockpit time. A mid-air in one of these is gonna mess your day up just as much as a mid-air in anything else!
Looks incredible. For those of you fearing to much look down time, remember all FMS's in large aircraft are in the center console and pilots perform many of the same functions. Now in these aircraft, there are generally two pilots and when CRM is used effectively one pilot is entering data in the FMS and one is flying. In single pilot operations, head down time should be minimized but it seems once the owner is proficient with the G2000 this time would be very minimal.
Very well said sir!
Love the TTX, although would much prefer a lever type throttle control as seen on Cirrus Aircraft.

Levers are less precise than vernier throttles. I'll take a vernier I can twist in and out over a lever any day of the week. Cirrus also doesn't give you prop control, which I consider a major limitation. The fact that STC'd kits exist to convert Cirrus to a traditional 3-knob setup speaks volumes.
Great product! Corvalis is an excellent, fast... cross-country flier. I'd fly it too since I have a reasonable amount of time in Cirrus aircraft which are similar to the TTX in design, speed, and comfort. #Aviation #Cessna
AMAZING
my first impression is to much head down time.Constant head bobing causes vertigo.I like the controls under the glare shield better- keeps your eyes close to PFD.

You rigth. Is the same efect that watching mobile phone for a few minutes while you are walking.
I have a 400 TT and I am quite happy with it. I am very young and love electronics, but I am not sure if I will like the G2000. I prefer to have a knob to twist in frequencies for examples. I am not a big fan of sub menu's and touch screens. Hope I get a chance to try and see for myself.
On the other hand, if you think you don't have to think to use this equipment properly, you are mistaken! Personally, I like the gadgets: they're an extra challenge and an amazing phenomenon.
I'm with you here. I learned to fly in the 70's also and was taught the same thing. But with all this automation and a built in TCAS system who knows? It maybe safer in the long run. Only time will tell. We just have to look at the stats on mid-airs and near misses 10 years from now to really know for sure. I have never flown an all "glass" cockpit, but I think I will still prefer good old needle, ball, and airspeed.
Wow. Small private planes have come a long way.
ПРОСТО СУПЕР !!!
I've been looking and looking for this answer - maybe you can help. Using the Intrinzic controller, can you graphically edit a flight plan like can be done on the GTN 750?
How comfortable is this airplane? Also what safety features does it have?
I'm a GA enthusiast and was wondering if anyone else out there knows about the Novaer U-Xc? It is an all new 4-place, low-wing that will go head-to-head with Diamond, Cirrus, Piper, Cessna, etc. Supposedly it will be able to haul 4-pax and full fuel at 200+ knots. Seems to be well equipped and designed for un-paved runways with retractable gear. The problem is that it will retail like that of a new Cirrus though:( anyway, just thought I'd share it. Thanks!
not bad I was expecting something just over 1k
I said it was helpful in IFR, although I think the autopilot integration is a bit much, but that's just my opinion. The option is there if you want to sit and watch the autopilot do all the flying on your 700k plane. The problem is that you and I both know that Joe pilot is gonna be heads down for his VFR flight if he gets into one of these
il stick with my 152
How many hours can this plane fly before having to be refueled
as much as I love the beautiful screens, I have to agree with you. More distracting than anything else.
Hell of an SEP aircraft...
Too much focus on the panel instead of flying arguments aside, how usable are those touch screens actually in moderate turbulence? The Garmin 530 buttons can be difficult to use and that's without accidentally hitting the wrong button which I could see happening a lot with a touch screen.
How much for just the 1940's technology Engine?
These are all OPTIONS, I understand it seems a little bit too much, but that is IF you would even want to do these procedures automatically or manually, after about 1,000 go-arounds myself, I think that it would be cool to try it out. But again it is just an option. Don't get me wrong, those G1000 and other full glass displays and PFD's are doctor killers and all those pretty lights lead to CFIT and other easily preventable accidents, but remember, all those are just options...
You are so right! Let's just forget that since the introduction of the glass cockpit in GA there has actually been an increase in aircraft accidents caused by pilots relying too heavily on a screen and not getting their damn eyes outside. All kidding aside, I see your point for IFR flight. But, come on...what's the fun in setting the autopilot? Isn't that the point of GA? You know...you actually get to fly the plane.
Agreed... I just borned on the wrong age... where are the DC-3's?
All this technology and they still can't figure out how to get a FADEC working and certified.

TJP77 that's one reason I picked the SR22T G6 for my mission. fadec, better useful load, and a longer lasting tks system.
The mooney actually has to be in production to count....
If I win powerball, it's mine!!!...Then again, I won't need to be a pilot anymore, lol!
Wouldn't all the extra technology just mean a greater work load for the pilot ? Wouldn't that put people at unnecessary risk?

I flew a G1000 for my instrument and the glass cockpit is insanely easy for approaches. Only problem is when you lose the AHRS, which you practice for.

Too much computer screen. I would have a fear of getting lost in menu screens with the G2000. The touch screen stuff would drive me mental. More aircraft video reviews AVweb please!

If I were flying this, I'd end up fiddling with the touchscreen more than flying. Concerning.
I feel like this is really taking the fun out of flying. An autopilot go-around? A v-nav coupled approach? Jeez...god forbid we have to think when we fly.
I want one.... Only if I had the money....
Cessna TTX > anything owned by china... Long Live the TTX. Gone to soon from our factories, but not from our hearts.

Cirrus SR22GT anyone? What the..? They are same!
Better than my A320 :(
I feel the same way. I could take all that performance and fixed gear economy with just a 430W and an Aspen PFD. That's all one needs for /G capability and AHRS. The rest is just ridiculous. They are taking the fun away with such emphasis on avionics and button pushing. Even if I had the money I wouldn't commit it to such a simple aircraft. I could have the experimental version (Lancair ES) for $150K and even that's a stretch. These dopes throw these prices so nonchalantly.. GA is dead.

Hey guys... I've been building race car's and home's since the mid 80s and I'm sorry but your gonna have to excuse Me if I just DON'T SEE 700K to 750K .. call me whatever you like but I think you guys are just a little to impressed with yourselves and have made flying just another toy for the rich & shameless . I used to work for an FBO in Westchester county NY and have hands on a wide variety of old and new aircraft that just DO NOT COMMAND THAT KIND LONG CASH SORRY .. NO SALE..
Give me a Piper Cherokee...they can keep this.
Thanks but Ill take a Super Cub PA18
You know you can show these videos to people all you want and how great the autopilots are, and how fast they are and how easy they are to fly. But at $700K+ you'd be crazy to buy one for that price of a pressurized turbo prop, or twin. I would rather have the latter. Just doesn't make sense.

The fuel and maintenance cost are in a whole different league for turbo props. If you can afford to run a turbo prop, cost isn't really a factor
your fate to make it... if you went IMC to survive... would you be castigated by your Department ofCivil Aviation
So sad cessna killed the entire project (instead of positioning it against Cirrus)
The General Aviation is dead unless it can figure out a way to build quality airplanes that middle class folks can afford.

+WK95 say you can spend one standard day (of 8 hours) per week on the build it'd take you 2 - 3 years to complete. That's the thing with aviation I guess. You either spend a lot of money buying or a lot of time building your craft.

Theoretically, if the market is there, the airplanes would come. I think the issue is much more that the current economic distribution distribution of wealth prevents the overwhelming majority from even having the means to take the first steps into GA (i.e. flight lessons and so forth).
It is NOT the fastest single engine production aircraft. The fastest fixed gear... Yea probably. But the Mooney Acclaim Type S is the fastest single engine production aircraft. 242kts true for the mooney. I'd rather have the mooney than this ttx
for that money, ill buy an extra ea-330 thanks

Great toy for rich kids.
Less is more in my opinion. This looks way too busy and completely ditching good ol' tactile buttons for touch screen input is not the way to go in aviation. The chance for misclicks increase using a touch screen, which cause the user to spend more time looking at screens than actually flying the aircraft. Please re-think this for ergonomic-sakes!
Price too high
The more tech the more to go wrong
Cessna was so stupid when they decided to move out production for Mexico.. low quality everywhere, issues with fiber (off course, humidity man..) and poor sale support, killed this phenomenal airplane.
I don't like it. It's just too damn much. I feel like some future accidents are going to have an eerie similarity to Eastern 401.
meh I prefer the good ol 172 ;)
AVweb, why are your voice-overs so terrible? Stop trying to speak the 'King's English' and just talk. Viewers must operate volume buttons when you do a presentation. The subjects are magnificent, the presentation gets a negative vote from me.
Avionics? flying in low sealing? I still don't trust. haha Marketing strategy of Cessna. you don't make Planes that you use to do. I go for European Aircraft so far Right now. Yes I use to Love Cessna's.
