1970 Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee 160hp

Description

Wilco Aviation is proud to present this stunning Piper PA28 Cherokee, G-LFSI. It has been upgraded to a 160 hp engine and comes with a high-specification avionics fit that includes dual Garmin G5 displays, a Garmin GNS430 GPS Nav/Com and a Garmin GNC255 Nav/Com. G-LFSI is a particularly smart and well-equipped example of one of the most popular and trusted light aircraft ever built. It combines a recently zero-timed engine with an upgraded interior and attractive presentation throughout.The Piper Cherokee has earned an outstanding reputation with private owners, flying schools and clubs around the world. It s known for its predictable handling, robust construction and straightforward operation. The PA28 is a four-seat, single-engine, low-wing aircraft of all-metal construction with fixed tricycle undercarriage. Generations of pilots have trained on and toured in the type, and it remains one of the most familiar and approachable aircraft in UK general aviation.The Cherokee has always been valued as an honest, economical and easy-to-fly aircraft. G-LFSI benefits from an upgrade to a 160 hp engine, which gives it a welcome boost in take-off and climb performance compared with the standard 140. That extra power makes it noticeably more capable when carrying passengers or operating from shorter strips, while keeping the simple, friendly character the type is known for.What really sets G-LFSI apart is its engine history. The engine was zero-timed by Gama in 2023 and has only accumulated around 900hrs hours since then, so a new owner benefits from a substantial amount of engine life remaining. Combined with the aircraft s successful history in rental operation, this makes G-LFSI an excellent proposition for flight training, for a flying group, or for those interested in generating income through aircraft rental.The avionics fit is equally impressive for an aircraft of this type. The dual Garmin G5 electronic flight instruments replace traditional vacuum-driven gyros with
