A60 DUKE

Used

I bought this plane to move into a higher performance multi-engine aircraft after flying the Cirrus. It flies regularly, and in less than a year I have put 100 hours on it, primarily flying it back and forth from my home base in Portland, Maine to the NY/NJ area. I invested 70K in engine upgrades along with another 30K on other improvements with the intention of keeping it for some time, but it doesn’t fit my mission anymore. It has every desirable Duke mod and then some. No expense has been spared, including 12 new nickel-carbide coated cylinders installed this year. Here is a link to all the logs, history, FAA reports on this aircraft going back to 1970, its year of manufacture: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6ytrjf7jrg036vf/AADcw_zCPixMWvMajwFYyekEa?dl=0 Located at the Portland Jetport (KPWM) in Portland, Maine Complete Logbooks available going back to 1970 ALL AD's in compliance NOTABLE MAINTENANCE FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER (2020) Carbide Lifters Installed Right Engine #1 Cylinder New voltage Regulators New Left Alternator New Right Main Fuel Cell New tube in Nose tire All New Champion Fine Wire Spark Plugs Exhaust Safety Cables to comply with SB A/C converted to R134A New Right Throttle Cable Overhauled Oxygen Regulator NOTABLE MAINTENANCE FROM 2021 Left and right engines each replaced with 6 nickel-carbide coated cylinders The left prop was zero timed New battery New vacuum pump LH Engine Fuel Flow Transducer replacement Replaced rear LH Passenger Oxygen Port Nitrogen Service New nose and main gear strut seals Replaced right main tire and tube Replaced left main tire tube Replaced left engine vacuum pump Replaced right engine vacuum hose Replaced all avionics data cards ANNUALS: The last two annuals were performed by Gary Bongard, who also did the top engine overhauls. Prior annuals were conducted by Sky Warrior, Jerry Bailey, FWF, and Trim-Air. PERFORMANCE: It will do roughly 185 Knots down low and 215 knots up high Cruise climb right after takeoff at 66 GPH and settles in to about 40 GPH in cruise. A 3000' field is doable with no obstructions but 4000' or greater is recommended. TRAINING I trained with George Niemann, who is an experienced Duke pilot and was recommended by the insurance company. Many people also train with Capt Hoffman. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

The paint was done in 2007 and is in excellent condition. The plane has always been stored in a heated hangar and our pre-buy inspection a year ago found no corrosion. N23PL has deice boots, heated propellers, and a heated windshield system. The Deice boots are from 2010 and are in great shape. The airplane just had a level 2 interior and exterior cleaning which included a Rejex Polymer gloss coating on the exterior and a sealant/moisturizing agent applied to the de-icing boots.

Interior was upgraded in 2006 and is in good condition.
