Piper Arrow (PA-28R-200) | Full Garmin Glass & Digital Autopilot

Originally an Ansett General Aviation (Bankstown) delivery; hangared for 40+ years in the WA wheatbelt (Bencubbin).
Modern Avionics:
Full Garmin suite with Digital Autopilot—a true IFR-capable cross-country machine.
Recent Renovation:
A total top-to-bottom project completed over the last two years.
The Story:
For over four decades, this aircraft served a single family in Western Australia, flying their children to and from boarding school. Its inland, low-humidity history makes it a rare find for corrosion-conscious buyers.
Following a meticulous two-year renovation overseen by the current owner, it is now offered for sale as the owner retires from flying.

A renovation of this scale typically takes at least 18 months. Here, all the hard work is already done.
Immaculate & IFR-Ready:
Enjoy an "as-new" flying experience in an immaculate aircraft equipped with next-level, ultra-reliable
Garmin technology.
Built-in Training Savings:
If you're a student pilot, save significantly by training in the aircraft you already own.
Rare Opportunity:
This turnkey aircraft is only available because the owner is retiring from the skies Lycoming IO360-C1C
fuel injected 200 horsepower. Only 414 Hours since Overhaul (Time Between Overhaul 2,000 hours).

(3) - this is definitely worth a read
Garmin Electronic Stability and Protection (ESP-X) capability to help maintain the aircraft in stable flight. ESP-X monitors your attitude and airspeed while you're hand-flying your aircraft, and should you inadvertently exceed user-selected pitch and bank angle limitations — or if you approach overspeed or stall speed limits — it automatically provides a correcting nudge to your flight controls to help you stay in control and get back to straight and level quickly. If you ignore the prompts, the correcting force will grow stronger as exceedances increase. Should you become incapacitated, after 15 seconds of ESP-X being engaged², the system will automatically activate your autopilot in Level Mode to bring the aircraft back to level flight.
