Description

This Piper Aerostar PA-600A is a 1979 model configured with normally aspirated engines (no turbos) and a non-pressurized cabin. The aircraft is currently located in Florida at 2IS / KHWO. The Aerostar 600A is widely known as one of the fastest six-seat piston aircraft ever produced, delivering exceptional performance while maintaining efficient operating costs. This normally aspirated configuration keeps maintenance, inspections, and operating costs simpler and more economical compared to turbocharged variants. The aircraft is also equipped with de-ice boots, adding capability and safety for real-world flying conditions. In terms of performance, the Aerostar typically cruises at 190–200 KTAS at altitudes between 8,500 and 10,000 feet, with an approximate fuel burn of 28 gallons per hour. With seating for six, the Aerostar platform offers excellent speed, efficiency, and responsive handling, making it a favorite among experienced pilots looking for high performance without the additional complexity of pressurization or turbocharging. Both engines have approximately 670 hours since major overhaul (SMOH) and are reported to be in excellent condition. The aircraft was previously operated by a company that maintained it to a high mechanical standard and kept it essentially squawk-free. This aircraft was imported from Canada, and the import process included completion of all required FAA documentation, registration, and STC approvals before being flown to Florida. The process was carried out carefully over several months to ensure full regulatory compliance. Complete maintenance records and documentation are available for review. The Aerostar is widely respected for its combination of speed, efficiency, and capability. With normally aspirated engines for simpler maintenance, de-ice boots installed for added operational flexibility, excellent cruise performance, short takeoff and landing capability, and relatively low-time engines at approximately 670 SMOH, this aircraft represents a strong example of the Aerostar platform. The aircraft is available for inspection at 2IS or KHWO in Florida. Serious buyers are encouraged to see and fly the aircraft to fully appreciate its performance and condition. Demonstration flights can be arranged, with fuel and operating costs covered by the interested party
