IFRDescription
If you are looking to travel long distances in comfort or just have some local fun, this is the plane for you. Fresh out of an extensive annual, this efficient and reliable machine has taken me across the Atlantic and back. Low hour engine with very good compression. Very good performance, stability and range make it an excellent IFR cruiser. You can expect POH numbers or better. I always plan 130ktas at 30lph (8gph). Garmin G3X coupled with a pair of GNS430W and GFC500 autopilot will give you more functionality than a modern airliner. You can shoot approaches down to LPV minima. The autopilot is very precise. Perfect platform for sightseeing, aerial photography and filmography, camera windows and high wings without struts will give you an unobstructed view below, and big doors mean you and your passengers can get in and out comfortably without climbing over a wing. Hangared at EYVP, close to Vilnius. Airplane time state: TTAF: 6524 Engine: Lycoming IO-360-A1B6D, SMOH: 663, 2015-04-23, Compressions 76,77,77,76. Prop: McCauley B2D34C207 SPOH: 375, 2020-03-12
