This classic retractable-gear single-engine aircraft is the perfect complex trainer or efficient cross-country traveler. N822JS has been meticulously hangar-kept and features a modern glass panel upgrade, making it a highly capable IFR platform. With a clean airframe, solid maintenance history, and a modern Garmin autopilot, this Arrow is ready to fly away to its new home. Avionics Panel Upgrades The panel has been significantly modernized to reduce pilot workload and increase situational awareness. The aircraft is equipped with dual Garmin GI275 displays, serving as the primary Attitude Display Indicator (ADI) and a comprehensive Engine Indication System (EIS) via the Garmin GEA24 interface. At the heart of the avionics suite is the highly sought-after Garmin GFC-500 Digital Autopilot. The GSA-28 autopilot servos were recently overhauled and reinstalled in March 2024, ensuring smooth and precise flight control. The aircraft is also equipped with a reliable KT76 transponder. Airframe Maintenance This Arrow boasts a solid airframe with approximately 6,890 hours Total Time Since New (TTSN).

Recent maintenance highlights demonstrate a commitment to keeping this aircraft in top condition. In November 2023, both the pilot and co-pilot brake master cylinders were completely overhauled, and new Garmin Type K EGT and CHT probes were installed on the #1 cylinder. Earlier in 2023, the nose gear downlock springs were replaced, and the gear retraction system was thoroughly tested. The aircraft sits on fresh rubber, with a new 5.00x5 nose tire and airstop tube installed recently. Engine Propeller Powered by the dependable 200-horsepower Lycoming IO-360 engine, this Arrow delivers excellent cruise performance and fuel efficiency. The engine currently shows approximately 1,976 hours on the Hobbs meter. The fuel system features standard 48-gallon total usable capacity (24 gallons per side). Complete engine and propeller logbooks are included with the sale. Exterior Interior The exterior features a classic and clean white base with an attractive black, grey, and red sweeping stripe scheme. The paint is in excellent condition, reflecting its life stored inside a hangar. The fuselage proudly displays the "Piper Arrow 200" script. Inside, the cabin offers a comfortable four-seat configuration featuring dark green leather upholstery. The front seats are detailed with custom airplane embroidery on the headrests. The interior is clean, functional, and ready for your next cross-country adventure.
