Description

This 1989 Piper Saratoga SP is an absolute classic piece of aviation history. CAO maintained since new by its first and only owner, the aircraft has proven reliable over several decades. Equipped with the Aspen EFD 1000, KFC 150 Autopilot, and GNS 430W, this Saratoga combines modern and conventional instruments. A major benefit is the low-time engine and propeller, both installed in 2020 with currently only ~ 128 hours accumulated SNEW.
