56TC BARON

TG40

Used

IFR

This is a clean, undamaged, very well maintained low time aircraft being offered at a price which covers the engines, the props and avionics with the rest of the aircraft thrown in. TC 56 Barons were used as a test bed for the Duke engines which produce 380 hp. per side allowing a climb rate which caused a controller to question whether his records indicating we were a Baron were accurate during one climb-out and single engine performance which greatly exceeds any elevation in North America. It is a high-performance, high altitude, fully booted IFR travelling machine suited to someone who needs to get up and go places. The airframe and interior are original but in good to very good condition, and the new avionics and autopilot work perfectly together to fly completely coupled IFR approaches including overshoots to published holds while the pilot manages little more than the radio, power and gear.

Annual Inspection Expired January 2017, New Inspection at time of sale will provide a full year of use! This aircraft has been closely inspected in recent years in part due to the fact it was legally exported to the US of A in 2003 at 3,267 hours and re-imported back into Canada at the same hours after the sale fell apart. That re-importation into Canada required an import inspection which was remarkable in its' detail... Transponder encoder and altimeter good till July 29, 2017. Oxygen tank just re-certified.
