Avionics

During my ownership G-OTUI has been well maintained and gradually updated. The avionics now include:

GNS530W WAAS Nav/Com (8.33 kHz) driving the autopilot.

Trig TY96 Com 2 (8.33 kHz)

Garmin GTX 345 ADSB in/out Mode-S transponder with live ADSB traffic data via bluetooth and wired datalink to the GNS530W and other onboard Garmin devices.

Powerflarm Portable traffic detector for non-ADSB traffic alerting including mode-C and FLARM.

CGR-30P digital tacho and manifold pressure display and graphical fuel flow and six cylinder engine performance monitor with data logging. (This is a great piece of kit.)

KAP 150 autopilot

Bendix King KNS-80 VOR/DME

KR87 ADF

KMA-24 audio panel.

The pilot’s instrument cluster comprises original spec “gas dials” including an HSI and CDI.

Description

After 13 wonderful years I am looking to pass on ownership of TB20 G-OTUI (serial number 1096, built 1990) to her next fortunate owner. The plane is painted in TUI’s colours and bears the registration “Go TUI”. From 2003 to 2006 it was part of small fleet of six different SEP planes under their group ownership, all painted the same in TUI’s colours and was serviced by TUI’s posh maintenance division at Luton Airport at the time. I am the third owner since then and I have flown her all around the UK and to France, Germany, Italy, Holland and elsewhere. She is fast (cruises at 150kts at 50 litres per hour) and capable (four-up and full fuel) and can fly continuously for six hours. If you want to tour properly in comfort then this is a superb plane in which to do it.

Remarks

I love this plane and will be sad to see her go. However, serious medical issues have caught up with me and so I now need to pass her on to a new owner.
