About the Lancair-Cessna Lancair LC-41 Columbia 400

The Rockwell Commander 114 is a single-engine, four-seat touring aircraft that emerged from the Commander Aircraft lineage in the mid-1970s. Designed as a step-up from the earlier 112 series, the 114 featured a more powerful Lycoming IO-540 engine producing 260 horsepower, giving it a cruise speed around 160 knots and a useful load approaching 1,200 pounds. Rockwell aimed to compete directly with established models like the Beechcraft Bonanza and Cessna 210, offering a roomy cabin with club seating and a distinctive low-wing profile.

The type earned a reputation for solid cross-country performance and relatively benign handling, though it never achieved the market penetration of its Beech and Cessna rivals. Production ran from 1976 through the early 1980s under Rockwell, then briefly resumed under Gulfstream American and later Commander Aircraft Corporation, with the improved 114B variant featuring aerodynamic refinements and updated systems. The Commander 114 remains popular in the owner-flown market for its combination of speed, comfort, and load-carrying capability, particularly among pilots seeking a capable IFR platform for business or personal travel.
