Many visitors to TwinNavion.com ask us about our experience with the Twin Navion. We've owned our D-16A since 1975. We rebuilt it, and a number of single engine Navions, and have
maintained our Twin Navion since. Its safe to say that we've learned a lot.
The following comments have been prepared to help the prospective Twin Navion buyer, or a new owner, to learn from our experiences. Keep in mind that we're dealing with people's memories,
and that we've had special arrangements with our mechanics, engineers and overhaul shops for decades. All of our maintenance has been carried out under the supervision of licensed
mechanics.
You bet. After all, that's what this website is all about. This also includes some comments about flying the D-16A.

When it comes to our engines we've heard the same comment a million times, "What's an O-340?" Read this, and you should have a good understanding where our engine fits
between O-320s and O-360s.
After a rash of gear collapses traced back to cracks in the nose gear fork, the Navioneers, holders of the D-16/D-16A type certificate have issued a Field Service Bulletin.
Owners of Camair airplanes should at least consider its incorporation.
