Description
Selling a beautiful 1966 Cherokee 180. Was apart of a fractional but most of us owners are deciding to part ways with this great aircraft. It's great for long cross countries, short local flights, and even just practicing in the pattern. The 180 horsepower she has is perfect, easily climbs up to cruise altitude even with a decent load all without ever getting hot. You won't be going anywhere super quick but speeds are generally just above 100 mph at 8.5-9.5 Gph which is hard to beat.
Recommended avionics upgrades
No IFR GPS navigator is listed — a GTN 650Xi is the standard entry point for WAAS/LPV capability.
See prices & suppliers ›No autopilot is listed — a GFC 500 (or S-TEC 3100 / Trio Pro Pilot where the GFC isn't STC'd) adds a modern digital autopilot with envelope protection, subject to model approval.
See prices & suppliers ›No ADS-B is listed — a GTX 345 delivers required ADS-B Out plus In (traffic & weather) in one transponder.
