Description
1978 Piper PA-44 Seminole. Hard to find twin in today's market, especially one that's IFR capable and ready to go to work. ~8,367 TT airframe. Complete logs from 1997 to present. Logbooks from 1978-1997 are missing, but all records from 1997 forward have been scanned and consolidated into a single organized logbook. Aircraft has been used as a trainer its entire life and has damage history including prior prop strikes, all reflected in the price. Avionics include Garmin 530W, Garmin 430W, and dual GI 275s (one configured as HSI). Solid IFR platform. Interior is brand new from Generation Global (New Zealand). Paint is older, typical trainer condition (3/5). This is not a showpiece, it's a working airplane. Ideal for flight school use, time building, or someone looking for an affordable entry into a multi. Between the avionics and interior, a lot of the expensive upgrades are already done.
