Aircraft heading into Annual in February.
This Turbo T-Tail Lance has been operated and owned by a Professional Airline Pilot for over 10 years. Always hangared, this aircraft has seen meticulous maintenance.
Beginning when he purchased the aircraft in 2014, the engine was overhauled by Signature Aircraft Engines to factory new tolerances.
This aircraft has an impressive list of options rarely found in other Piper Turbo Lances, including the Precise Flight 2000 speed brake system, RMD wing tip lights with precise flight pulse lights, the Knots 2U landing gear lobes fairings and flap high fairings, flap, horizontal stabilizer and aileron seals.
Worried about engine temperatures, not to worry, the aircraft also has to Turbo Plus Intercooler system. The Turboplus intercooler system offers a dramatic reduction in drag, increased airspeed, more horsepower, cooler oil and cylinder head temperatures all because of the new Turboplus custom lower cowling. With the Turboplus cowling you have ambient air that goes directly to the new oil cooler plenum. Ambient air to the new induction system (with Auto Air Door) directly into the turbocharger. The Intercooler receives ambient air through the front of the cowling directly into the custom intercooler/plenum assembly.
