Description

The Piper Arrow IV Turbo is one of those aircraft that immediately inspires confidence the moment you settle into the cockpit. Stable, comfortable and exceptionally pleasant to fly, it remains a true benchmark for fast touring in general aviation. Powered by a fuel-injected turbocharged 200 HP six-cylinder engine, this particular aircraft delivers smooth and refined operation, combined with excellent climb and cruise performance. In an economical cruise configuration, the aircraft comfortably achieves around 130 kt for a real-world fuel burn of approximately 35 L/h, offering an excellent balance between speed, range and operating economy. For faster cross-country flights, the aircraft is also capable of cruising around 155 kt at 75% power, with an approximate fuel consumption of 45 L/h, fully benefiting from the turbocharged engine s capabilities at altitude. This aircraft has been maintained to a particularly high standard and presents in outstanding overall condition, both mechanically and cosmetically. Always hangared, corrosion-free, featuring a brand-new leather interior and modern Garmin avionics, it represents a highly coherent and immediately operational touring platform. The aircraft is fully IFR equipped, making it perfectly suited for serious cross-country instrument flying within reasonable weather operations, while remaining primarily a fast and comfortable traveling aircraft rather than a known-icing platform. The engine as well as the propeller were replaced in December 2014 and currently show low time since installation, with very comfortable remaining potential. A rare Arrow Turbo distinguished by its overall condition, technical consistency and quality of presentation.
