1979 Piper Arrow

AT Aviation are pleased to present G-OARC, a Piper Arrow IV. RC offers a natural step up from both the Warrior and the Archer, the Arrow introduces retractable landing gear and a constant-speed propeller, making it the ideal aircraft for pilots looking to build experience on complex aircraft while retaining the renowned handling characteristics and reliability that Piper is famous for. Whether you're looking for an aircraft for hour building, a new addition to your flight training fleet or comfortable tourer, this Arrow IV is a superb all-rounder.

‍

G-OARC has accumulated 7,275 airframe hours and the Lycoming engine has 1,550 hours since overhaul, completed in 2018. The engine remains well within both calendar and hourly limits, leaving plenty of life remaining, making this an excellent proposition for both private owners and flying schools alike. The aircraft will be supplied with a fresh Annual Inspection, allowing its new owner to fly away with confidence.

‍

One of the standout features of G-OARC is its exceptional avionics fit. The panel is centred around a modern Garmin suite featuring dual Garmin G5 electronic flight instruments, a Garmin GTN 650 GPS/NAV/COM, Garmin Audio panel and Garmin Transponder, providing outstanding situational awareness and capability. Completing the package is the highly desirable Garmin GFC 500 digital autopilot, making cross-country touring a pleasure while significantly reducing pilot workload. Traditional DME and ADF equipment are also installed, providing excellent flexibility for IFR training too.

‍

As a normally aspirated Arrow IV, it benefits from slightly lower operating costs and simpler maintenance compared to its turbocharged counterpart, while still delivering great cruise performance and load-carrying capability. The Arrow's forgiving flight characteristics, robust construction and widespread parts availability have made it a firm favourite with owners, flight schools and syndicates for decades, ensuring straightforward ownership and strong long-term appeal.

‍

Presented in great overall condition, G-OARC is now available to view at the AT Aviation showroom. If you're looking for a well-equipped, capable complex aircraft that is equally at home on training sorties, weekend adventures or European touring, this Arrow IV deserves your attention.
