Back for sale due to owner upgrade: The Ideal Piper PA-32 Saratoga AT Aviation is thrilled to add the highly sought-after Piper PA-32 Saratoga to our inventory with G-RIGH. Renowned for its versatility and spaciousness, the Saratoga consistently attracts attention for its ability to meet the needs of pilots. As the largest aircraft in its class it maintains the family appeal without the complexity of turbine engines, the Saratoga stands out as a top-tier choice. This aircraft is particularly appealing to pilots transitioning from fixed-gear Pipers or the Arrow series, offering a familiar yet elevated flying experience. With a comfortably appointed seating for six in a club configuration, G-RIGH ensures a pleasant journey whether utilised for travelling with passengers or cruising with fewer passengers and more baggage. Loading and unloading is made effortless thanks to the convenient rear door, and baggage space is abundant. The PA-32 features a front luggage locker in the nose, along with additional storage available behind the seats, making it easy to accommodate all your travel essentials without compromise. G-RIGH distinguishes itself with impressively low overall flight hours. Since its engine overhaul in 2019, it has logged only approximately 338 hours, and the propeller was new at that time, providing plenty of remaining time for the next owner. What we present here is not only a beautifully maintained and highly capable aircraft but also one with ample life ahead for its new pilot. Previously owned privately and well cared for, this Saratoga is a standout option that we are proud to offer once again. When it comes to the avionics, a lot of thought has been put into the panel - featuring a Garmin G500, 2 x Garmin GNS430W and a Garmin G5 its a great combination to fly with. The Back up 6 pack on the P2 side is another great additional feature. Touring is made simple with the GFC500 autopilot and just completed the whole package of G-RIGH.
