1971 PIPER ARROW

Description

Piper Arrow (PA-28R-200) | Full Garmin Glass & Digital Autopilot A "no-expense-spared" IFR restoration of an already great aircraft. Exceptional Heritage: Originally an Ansett General Aviation (Bankstown) delivery; hangared for 40+ years in the WA wheatbelt (Bencubbin). Modern Avionics: Full Garmin suite with Digital Autopilot—a true IFR-capable cross-country machine. Recent Renovation: A total top-to-bottom project completed over the last two years. The Story: For over four decades, this aircraft served a single family in Western Australia, flying their children to and from boarding school. Its inland, low-humidity history makes it a rare find for corrosion-conscious buyers. Following a meticulous two-year renovation overseen by the current owner, it is now offered for sale as the owner retires from flying. Why You Should Buy This Aircraft: Skip the 18-Month Wait: A renovation of this scale typically takes at least 18 months. Here, all the hard work is already done. Immaculate & IFR-Ready: Enjoy an "as-new" flying experience in an immaculate aircraft equipped with next-level, ultra-reliable Garmin technology. Built-in Training Savings: If you're a student pilot, save significantly by training in the aircraft you already own. Rare Opportunity: This turnkey aircraft is only available because the owner is retiring from the skies All Airworthiness Directives and Service Bulletins up to date Summary: A Fully IFR Aircraft ready to enjoy Certainly the best Piper Arrow of its era in Australia (maybe the world) Can be maintained by almost any maintenance organisation Local support and parts availability from Piper, Lycoming, and Hartzell Ready to enjoy with your friends

Avionics

New Garmin GFC 500 Digital Autopilot with Blue Level Button, Track Hold, Vertical Navigation, and Electric Pitch Trim Servo New Garmin GSA 28 Smart Autopilot Servos (3) - this is definitely worth a read Garmin Electronic Stability and Protection (ESP-X) capability to help maintain the aircraft in stable flight. ESP-X monitors your attitude and airspeed while you're hand-flying your aircraft, and should you inadvertently exceed user-selected pitch and bank angle limitations — or if you approach overspeed or stall speed limits — it automatically provides a correcting nudge to your flight controls to help you stay in control and get back to straight and level quickly. If you ignore the prompts, the correcting force will grow stronger as exceedances increase. Should you become incapacitated, after 15 seconds of ESP-X being engaged², the system will automatically activate your autopilot in Level Mode to bring the aircraft back to level flight.
