1977 Rockwell Commander 114 (VH-RNS)

Comments

This is a beautiful aircraft that turns heads and has a loyal following of students and other users.

She has undergone a lot of work over the past 3 years during my ownership to bring her up to standard including, but not limited to:

Corrosion prevention

Aileron hinge replacement

Undercarriage maintenance

Whelen strobes and sync installation

Parametheus landing light upgrades

Rigging and flight control adjustments

Avionics upgrade with GI 275 and engine instrumentation ADAHRS (in antitipation of further upgrades)

She has a new prop (from 2023) and a bulk strip at that time due to a prop strike. The fuel pump was replaced at the same time as other items.

She is a very comfortable cruiser getting 50-55L LOP and TAS of knots.

Ifr

She is fully IR and NVFR capable and looks great on the ramp or in the air.

She is well maintained and had the last 100 hrly in June 2026 and has been flying regularly before and since then providing reliable service to local community flights and tours/long term rental around Australia.

I am exploring selling as she has served her purpose and I wish to move on to the next aircraft challenge.

She is in constant use and currently touring Australia via QLD.

She would come with a fresh 100 hourly which will be due in early September. Take a look at Flight Radar to see her flying regularly.

There is excellent support from the Facebook group and the Commander Owners' Group Forum. I have had no problems with spares and there are quite a few around so plenty of people can maintain her.

You won't be disappointed by this beautiful, capable and comfortable cruiser, trainer and hours-builder. I hope the next owner gets to enjoy her as much as I have.
