Description
This low-total-time airframe has never been used in a flight school, has always been hangered, and features a 50-gallon fuel capacity with 48 usable gallons and an 800-pound useful load. No expense has been spared in its care, making it an excellent time-builder or trainer for pilots ranging from zero experience through a single-engine commercial rating, as well as a great choice for a first-time owner.
Modifications
Full plane cover
Recommended avionics upgrades
Moving to a Garmin GTN navigator adds touchscreen operation, LPV approaches and clean integration with modern autopilots and ADS-B.
See prices & suppliers ›No autopilot is listed — a GFC 500 (or S-TEC 3100 / Trio Pro Pilot where the GFC isn't STC'd) adds a modern digital autopilot with envelope protection, subject to model approval.
