Description
This N43GT Cessna Conquest II Dash-10 is fresh where it matters most: approximately 1,000 hours since overhaul on the engines, brand-new four-blade propellers installed in December 2025, and a full slate of phase inspections completed that same month. As a result, it is a pressurized, RVSM-certified turboprop twin with a modern Garmin glass panel — a genuine buy-it-and-fly-it airplane. Up front, the panel is anchored by a Garmin G600 TXi with Synthetic Vision, paired with a GTN 750Xi touchscreen navigator and a 530W WAAS second GPS/NAV/COMM. In addition, dual Garmin transponders provide ADS-B In and Out, while a Collins WXR-300C color radar, BFG Skywatch traffic system, and XM Weather round out the situational-awareness suite. A Collins APS-65 autopilot and West Star RVSM approval make it a comfortable, capable single-pilot IFR platform. The desirable Dash-10 engine conversion also gives N43GT more power and better performance than a stock Conquest II. Furthermore, both TPE331-10 engines were overhauled by National Flight, and they now sit at just 1,031 and 991 hours against a 5,000-hour TBO — roughly 80% remaining. Finally, the cabin is a true executive environment, with a complete paint and interior refurbishment by Murmer Aircraft in 2018, dual executive tables, an aft privacy divider, and a two-place lounge seat.
