Description

General description Single-owner Socata TB10 G-BNRA based at Kemble will be sold VAT-free with fresh annual (in progress expected release end of January 2026) and ARC (valid in August 2026) but putting it up for any advance enquiries as I will be losing my Class 2 due to long-term medication. The aircraft has currently an active CAMO maintenance program with IAE. It is an 1987 serial number 772. A lot of restoration in 2024 and 2025 (see remarks). The aircraft is regularly flown and will be until sold. It is fully certified and has flown to EU without any issues as well. Airplane time state Total airframe hours: 3593 Lycoming 0-360-AIAD Engine hours: 752 since overhaul (TBO 2000 hours in calendar until 2031) Hartzell HC-C2YK-1 BF variable pitch propeller hours: 229 since overhaul (TBO 2000) Magnetos freshly overhauled in August 2025 (TBO 4 years) Interior Minor wear & tear, partly restored. Exterior I was planning to complete the restoration by giving it a complete new paint job as the paint on the top cowling, wings and elevator is very thinned but the aircraft has been always hangared and there is not a spec of corrosion, neither external nor internal (inspected in 2025). Avionics Comes with all the IFR instrumentation and night flying equipment. In the 1990s it has been added a GPS unit GNS430 (non-waas) and GTX328 mode-S transponder - the modifications have been re-certified in 2025 by IAE.

Complete set of covers, red gear, towbar also at no extra cost. Remarks The engine has been tested for compression in 2023 and had a normal results (in photo) and has only done cca 120 hours since. The overall performance in cruise and climb is about 3-4% less than what’s stated in POH and oil consumption is normal around half of quart every 10 hours which I have determined after multiple flight tests including continuous climb to 12000 feet and long distance cruise.
