Airframe
The aircraft shows exceptionally well for its age and has clearly benefited from careful ownership and storage. It has been hangared in a dry climate, helping preserve the exterior finish and overall condition. The original paint remains very presentable, with little to no hangar rash and excellent overall curb appeal.
The aircraft has been hangared consistently, and the airframe, exterior plastics, and finish all reflect that level of care. Overall exterior condition is rated 9/10.
The aircraft's original logbooks are missing for a portion of its ownership history however, copies of the missing records were successfully recovered and preserved, providing valuable documentation for that period. The available records have been maintained and are available for review by prospective buyers.
Engines / Mods / Prop
Powered by the proven LYCOMING TIO-540-AKIA, turbocharged six-cylinder engine, a well-regarded powerplant known for strong performance and excellent capability in the Turbo Skylane platform. The turbocharged engine provides impressive high-altitude and cross-country performance while maintaining the familiar durability and serviceability associated with the Lycoming 540 series.
The aircraft has a documented previous propeller strike. Following the event, the crankshaft was replaced along with the propeller, and the work was properly documented in the aircraft records.
The replacement of the crankshaft and propeller provides prospective buyers with clear documentation of the corrective work performed following the event. Complete available maintenance records relating to the repair are available for review.
A strong, proven engine and airframe combination that has made the Turbo Skylane one of the most capable and versatile high-performance single-engine aircraft in its class.
