Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational and airworthy PA-31-310 with genuinely low-time engines and propellers, complete records, full de-ice capability, dual Garmin GNS 530W WAAS/LPV avionics and a very good 8-seat interior. A well-equipped Navajo that is ready for its next owner. Flown regularly LOW-TIME ENGINES — 663 / 730 H SMOH CURRENT ANNUAL & ARC — AIRWORTHY & OPERATIONAL FULLY DE-ICED — WAAS/LPV — 8 SEATS OY-DLY is a particularly attractive example of the classic Piper PA-31-310 Turbo Navajo, offering a combination that is increasingly difficult to find on the European market: LOW-TIME ENGINES • LOW-TIME PROPELLERS • FULL DE-ICE • WAAS/LPV • 8 SEATS • AIRWORTHY CONDITION The aircraft has 10,050 hours total airframe time, but the two Lycoming TIO-540-A2B engines have only 653 and 720 hours since major overhaul respectively. The Hartzell 3-blade propellers have only 308 and 428 hours since overhaul. For a PA-31 buyer, these are important numbers. WHY OY-DLY? The market contains older Navajos at lower asking prices, but the purchase price alone does not tell the whole story. A buyer should consider the condition, engine times, propeller times, airworthiness status, equipment and immediate maintenance requirements of each aircraft. OY-DLY is currently airworthy and operational, with its systems functional and the aircraft available for inspection in airworthy and operational condition. For a PA-31 buyer, the relevant comparison is not simply the advertised purchase price, but also engine and propeller times, current airworthiness status, equipment and immediate maintenance requirements. THE RIGHT NAVAJO FOR A BUYER WHO WANTS TO FLY OY-DLY is not being presented as the cheapest Navajo on the market. It is being offered as a well-equipped, operational and airworthy Navajo with low-time engines and propellers, full de-ice capability, modern WAAS/LPV avionics and a very good interior. For a buyer looking for a PA-31 for serious IFR travelling, family or business transportation, the combination of engine time, equipment, cabin condition and present airworthiness deserves close consideration. Pre-purchase inspection is welcome. Serious buyers are invited to inspect the aircraft and review the complete maintenance records. Both engines have low time since overhaul (653/720 SMOH) and are currently operated on-condition. The calendar overhaul interval has elapsed; continued operation is in accordance with the applicable approved maintenance programme. Specifications subject to verification by purchaser
