G-IFIT

AT Aviation presents G-IFIT, a beautifully kept Piper PA-31-250 Navajo Chieftain, now available for viewing inside our showroom at Lee-on-Solent. This is a particularly honest and well-cared-for example of the type, offering the kind of presence and capability that has made the Chieftain a mainstay of serious piston twin operations. With its purposeful stance, generous cabin, and proven reliability, G-IFIT is an aircraft built to work—but equally, one that has been treated with the respect it deserves. ‍ Maintained under a respectable Part 145 CAMO, the aircraft benefits from a well documented and professional maintenance history. The propellers have been recently overhauled and have accrued just 18 hours since and the engines sit at 1,162 hours with ample time remaining. Altogether, this is a machine that inspires confidence both on paper and in person. ‍ G-IFIT is equipped with a TKS anti-icing system, a valuable and often sought-after feature that significantly enhances operational flexibility in less favourable weather. For owners operating in the UK and across Europe, this capability adds a genuine layer of utility, extending dispatch reliability and reducing weather-related limitations. It is a practical, thoughtful specification that aligns well with the aircraft’s intended mission profile. ‍ The PA-31-350 Chieftain series has long been respected for its ability to combine range, payload, and comfort in a way few piston twins can match. Whether for private use, business travel, or light commercial work, it offers a level of versatility that continues to stand the test of time. The avionics suite is both modern and highly capable, centred around a Garmin GTN 750 and GTN 650, providing intuitive navigation, excellent situational awareness, and seamless IFR capability, complemented by a dependable and functional autopilot that reduces workload. ‍ Inside, the aircraft offers a spacious and highly practical seven-seat cabin, complete with a belted potty—ideal for family trips or extended journeys. The Chieftain has always been known for its generous internal dimensions offering a cabin and cockpit environment that feels remarkably open and accommodating—more so than many turboprops. ‍ We would be delighted to welcome you to Lee-on-Solent to view the aircraft in person and appreciate everything it has to offer. ‍ £160,000.00 + VAT (as applicable)
