Description
This 1979 Twin Commander 690B is a clean, capable turboprop that shows beautifully inside and out. It has newer paint and interior, and the panel has been upgraded with a Garmin GTN 750, a Garmin transponder, and a Garmin audio panel. That gives it a modern, familiar IFR setup in a proven airframe. It's powered by two Honeywell TPE331-5 engines. One has a fresh hot section inspection and the other still has plenty of life remaining, which puts the next owner in a strong maintenance position. The 690B delivers roughly 280-knot cruise in a pressurized cabin with room for 6 passengers. It also has the short-field performance and stout construction the Commander line is known for. This is an honest, cabin-class airplane that hauls people and bags without jet operating costs, and it's ready to go to work.
