Description
Detailed Description This 1976 Piper PA-31-350 Chieftain is a well-equipped, cabin-class twin-engine aircraft located at Miami Executive Airport (KTMB), offering an excellent combination of performance, utility, and proven reliability. With 11,216 hours TTAF, the aircraft is powered by Lycoming LTIO-540-F2BD and TIO-540-J2BD engines with just 774 and 712 hours since major overhaul, respectively, and Hartzell propellers with only 394 hours SMOH. The panel features a strong avionics package including a Garmin GNS 530W, PMA8000G audio panel, ADS-B In/Out, XM Weather, XM Radio, JPI 790 engine monitor, and a 406 ELT. Additional value comes from STC cargo floor and rear baggage net installations, making it well suited for passenger or cargo operations. Rated 7/10 for both paint and interior, the aircraft is IFR certified with all applicable ADs complied with. The owner is selling because the aircraft is no longer being flown, and while it experienced a main and nose gear collapse in 2012-2013, it has since been repaired and returned to service.
