Description

I'm selling my Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee 4-seater with 160 HP engine due to upgrade to different aircraft. The aircraft is IFR equipped (Dual Garmin G5, Avidyne IFD540, 1-axis autopilot with GPSS, and more - see below) and flies even LPV approaches. The plane has an MTOM of 975 kg (= lower landing fees) and can run on UL91. We traveled across Europe with 2 adults, dog, and baggage. The plane is a perfect aircraft especially for pilots with IR/BIR or those who want to get one in the future. Always hangared and flown by only two pilots.

All maintenance records are complete and have been digitalized. All Form 1/8130-3's for all components available (notably Engine and Propeller). Block wiring diagram available for all avionics. ARC and 100h-inspection done in 02/2025. All EASA/FAA ADs have been complied with and all recommended Piper SBs are done as well. Contact me via +4915120535828 or PlaneCheck
