Detailed Description

1977 Piper PA-28-181 Archer II - Excellent Condition / Updated Avionics

Well-maintained 1977 Piper Archer II with 7,600 hours TTAF and approximately 900 hours SMOH. This is a clean, attractive Archer with an excellent 9/10 exterior and a comfortable 7/10 interior, making it a great candidate for personal travel, time building, or instrument flying.

The aircraft has been kept current and well maintained, with all applicable ADs complied with, including the Piper wing spar inspection. The annual inspection was completed in June 2026, and the Pitot-Static inspection was completed in September 2026.

A major highlight is the recently upgraded avionics package, providing a modern IFR-capable panel:

PS Engineering PMA8000G audio panel

Garmin GTN 650Xi GPS/NAV/COM

Garmin GTR 225 COM radio

Appareo Stratus transponder with ADS-B Out

The aircraft is also equipped with a fully functional Piper AutoControl IIIB autopilot, including wing-leveler, heading, and NAV modes, with NAV coupled to the GPS.

With low time on the engine, excellent exterior condition, current inspections, wing spar AD compliance, and significant recent avionics upgrades, this Archer II offers a strong combination of proven Cherokee reliability and modern IFR capability. It is a well-equipped, ready-to-fly aircraft without the immediate expense of a major panel upgrade. Ideal for an owner flyer or even a low time pilot wanting to build hours in a capable, IFR equipped aircraft.
