Single Engine Piston
Aircraft Details
Seller reportedDescription
20% share in group you can learn from ranging from PPL to IR to ATPL. Cruise up to 155kts or up to FL180, yet land on grass runways anywhere. Great for VFR/IFR Euro touring and UK weather 144kts economy cruise at 10.6 USG/hr or 12.3 USG/hr best power. This aircraft has been to many countries with its current and previous owners. I have owned shares in SR-20 and AC-114 as well. For me, the TB20 beats both. I don't want to sell this - and may not because I haven't done everything I want to do yet - but I fly a vintage taildragger more. Airplane time state: Total time (March 2026) TTAF 2,662hrs, Engine 1,290hrs, Hartzell 3 Blade TTP 443Hrs. In regular use. Annual and extensive check/renewal just completed (February 2027). All ADs complied with and regular preventative maintenance. New prop and major engine overhaul @ 842hrs TTE after prop-strike in Dec 2020.
