Lancair IV-P Aircraft

The Lancair IV-P is a pressurised, four-seat, experimental composite single capable of ~270+ kt in the flight levels — turbocharged Continental TSIO-550 power, retractable gear and pressurisation give it turboprop-rivalling cross-country speed for a fraction of the price. As an amateur-built aircraft, its value and safety hinge on build quality, documentation and proper transition training.
