Description
AT Aviation are pleased to present this Piper PA-28-161 Warrior II, G-BPWE, a well-known and highly regarded four-seat aircraft offering an excellent combination of practicality, reliability and economical operation. With a total airframe time of 5,102.5 hours, this Warrior represents an attractive opportunity for pilots looking for a capable aircraft at a very competitive price. One of the key features of G-BPWE is its low-time engine, having accumulated just 64 hours since its 2022 Norvic overhaul. Combined with its proven Warrior II airframe, this provides an excellent basis for an owner looking for an aircraft that is ready to get on with flying. The aircraft's annual inspection was completed in June, and G-BPWE is ready to fly, making this an appealing option for an operator looking to put an aircraft straight into service without unnecessary delay. The aircraft is equipped with a Garmin GNS430W GPS, providing a useful navigation capability for both local and touring operations. The interior could benefit from a refresh if you were looking to operate this aircraft privately. We believe this aircraft offers the overall package of a practical and straightforward Warrior II for private flying, a flying club or an addition to a current flight training fleet. AT Aviation would be pleased to provide further information and arrange a viewing for interested purchasers.
