Description

Previously used for private rentals for just two years, this aircraft was last flown in 2020. The last annual inspection was completed in 2019, and it has been properly stored and preserved since then. With little to no corrosion, a well-maintained exterior and interior, and a strong maintenance history, this aircraft has been kept in great condition despite not having flown in recent years. The aircraft includes a panel space and full connections for a Garmin GNS 530, which was previously installed and has since been removed. It will be sold without the unit, allowing the next owner to easily reinstall a compatible GPS/NAV/COM of their choice. Please note that the aircraft does not currently have ADS-B installed.
