Specs

Is there any reason why this page has the 400 specs instead of the 350 ones? ANHL 12:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just an oversight I suspect - fixed! - Ahunt (talk) 23:01, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name and article name

There have been several recent attempts to add the word "Corvalis" to every mention of the Cessna 350 in this and other articles, including attempting to rename this article to "Cessna 350 Corvalis". In general these attempts have been reverted because that article nomenclature would contradict the consensus-agreed naming standards of WikiProject Aircraft, which states: "US civil aircraft: Manufacturer and name or number as appropriate according to common usage: Boeing 707, Cessna Citation, Cessna 172, Convair 880 (not "Convair Skylark" or "Convair Golden Arrow"). Try to avoid using name and number unless it is clearly needed for some reason." It is for this reason that the Cessna 172 article is under Cessna 172 and not "Cessna 172 Skyhawk" and the Cessna 182 article is under Cessna 182 and not "Cessna 182 Skylane" etc.

Please note that the FAA Type Certificate Data Sheets do not recognize these names, as they are not part of the type designation and are merely marketing names.

The article does mention the marketing name Cessna has given the aircraft, including its origins and that is sufficient - it doesn't have to be included in every mention of the aircraft or in the article title. If you disagree then discuss it here and gain consensus rather than edit warring. - Ahunt (talk) 18:04, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cessna 350 → Cessna 350 Corvalis – Official name and WP:COMMONNAME. Some time after the kerfuffle above, the aircraft naming standards were modified, and now the general standard is the most common name, including manufacturer+designation/model number+name where appropriate. In this case, the commoname also appears to be "Cessna 350 Corvalis". In the examples given above not all 172s were Skyhawks and not all 182s were Skylanes, so those names would be inappropriate, however all 350s are Corvalises, so including the name here allows it to conform with the accepted, consensus standard for aircraft page names. Note that I would have simply WP:BOLDly moved this page per the current standards, but given the past kerfuffles about including "Corvalis" in the name, thought discussion was appropriate.

Support adding the model name to the title. -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 04:51, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In general I don't disagree with the proposal, but I probably should point out that very few of the 300s and 350s produced carried the "Corvalis" name. The vast majority were built by Columbia and were just called Columbia 300s and Columbia 350s. - Ahunt (talk) 12:37, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect photo

The main photo provided on this page shows a Columbia (Cessna/Corvalis) 400 model, not a 350. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.82.0.45 (talk) 15:00, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right, thanks for bringing it up.
