Description
Detailed Description Air Impressions maintained and loaded Garmin glass panel 421C! This is a well maintained 421C that has flown a lot in the last couple years. No damage history, no missing logs and no squawks. Misc: Spoilers (speed brakes) Strakes Vortex Generators Hub Caps LED Landing and Taxi Lights Nacelle Fire Detection and Extinguishing System New Heater Installed 2023 - Removes A.D. Inspection Oil Sump Heaters FIKI - Boots are in excellent condition New LED Annunciator Panel and Landing Gear Lights Factory AC 234 Gallon Fuel The last 3 annuals were done by Air Impressions and we have a slot for a January 2027 annual that will go with the plane. I have put over 200 hours on it in less than 2 years, so it has been exercised frequently. The left engine was topped with 6 cylinders last year and everything looked great when they were in there, so I believe it has a lot of life left in it. No damage history and complete logs.
