Description

Rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational and airworthy PA-31-310 with genuinely low-time engines and propellers, complete records, full de-ice capability, dual Garmin GNS 530W WAAS/LPV avionics and a very good 8-seat interior.

A well-equipped Navajo that is ready for its next owner.

Flown regularly

LOW-TIME ENGINES — 663 / 730 H SMOH

CURRENT ANNUAL & ARC — AIRWORTHY & OPERATIONAL

FULLY DE-ICED — WAAS/LPV — 8 SEATS

OY-DLY is a particularly attractive example of the classic Piper PA-31-310 Turbo Navajo, offering a combination that is increasingly difficult to find on the European market:

LOW-TIME ENGINES • LOW-TIME PROPELLERS • FULL DE-ICE • WAAS/LPV • 8 SEATS • AIRWORTHY CONDITION

The aircraft has 10,050 hours total airframe time, but the two Lycoming TIO-540-A2B engines have only 653 and 720 hours since major overhaul respectively.

The Hartzell 3-blade propellers have only 308 and 428 hours since overhaul.

For a PA-31 buyer, these are important numbers.

Why oy-dly?

The market contains older Navajos at lower asking prices, but the purchase price alone does not tell the whole story.

OY-DLY is currently airworthy and operational, with its systems functional and the aircraft available for inspection in airworthy and operational condition.

For a PA-31 buyer, the relevant comparison is not simply the advertised purchase price, but also engine and propeller times, current airworthiness status, equipment and immediate maintenance requirements.

THE RIGHT NAVAJO FOR A BUYER WHO WANTS TO FLY

OY-DLY is not being presented as the cheapest Navajo on the market.

It is being offered as a well-equipped, operational and airworthy Navajo with low-time engines and propellers, full de-ice capability, modern WAAS/LPV avionics and a very good interior.

For a buyer looking for a PA-31 for serious IFR travelling, family or business transportation, the combination of engine time, equipment, cabin condition and present airworthiness deserves close consideration.

Pre-purchase inspection is welcome.

Serious buyers are invited to inspect the aircraft and review the complete maintenance records.

Both engines have low time since overhaul (653/720 SMOH) and are currently operated on-condition. The calendar overhaul interval has elapsed; continued operation is in accordance with the applicable approved maintenance programme.
