Description
Detailed Description Modernized and exceptionally well-maintained Arizona-based Piper Archer featuring dual uAvionix AV-30-C electronic flight displays, AV-Mag magnetometer, ForeFlight/iPad integration, digital engine and fuel management, and a fresh annual inspection. This is an excellent cross-country aircraft, IFR-capable platform, or step-up airplane for pilots wanting modern avionics in a proven PA-28. This Archer has been thoughtfully upgraded with modern avionics while retaining the proven reliability of the PA-28 platform. The AV-30/AV-Mag system provides stable magnetic heading with wireless AV-Link connectivity to ForeFlight, allowing convenient flight plan transfer and a modern electronic flight bag workflow. Digital engine monitoring, fuel flow, and fuel quantity systems reduce pilot workload and enhance situational awareness. The aircraft is actively flown, meticulously maintained, and ready for its next owner to enjoy immediately without needing to invest in the major avionics upgrades that many comparable Archers still require. The only upgrade I had planned was replacing the legacy autopilot with a modern digital system. Otherwise, the aircraft's avionics modernization is essentially complete. 1974 Piper PA-28-180 Archer Registration: N32714 Lycoming O-360-A4M (180 HP) Complete logbooks Arizona aircraft Fresh Annual Inspection (2026) Based on a covered tie-down Paint approximately 7.5/10.
