1959 Piper Comanche 180Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1959 Piper Comanche 180 (N5665P) presents as a well-maintained example with 3,470 total airframe hours and a fresh engine showing only 370 hours since major overhaul. The aircraft features a 100-hour SMOH Hartzell propeller and carries a useful load of 715 lbs in its four-seat configuration. Recent upgrades include ADS-B In/Out capability with a Stratus system, complemented by a King 155 nav/com with glideslope. The tail AD has been complied with using a new Aussie horn, and the aircraft has no corrosion history, having spent most of its time in dry climates of California and Arizona before its current year in Anchorage.

The Comanche shows signs of careful use, with the 1995 paint described as slightly faded but structurally sound without flaking or peeling, while the interior retains its 1995 upholstery under seat covers that suggest new reupholstery would be beneficial. The panel features basic instruments under a dash cover. Important upcoming maintenance includes a 100-hour aileron AD inspection requirement and a Hartzell prop AD inspection due at 3,818 tach hours (the last major overhaul was completed during the previous inspection). The current annual is valid until June 1, 2025, and the seller offers to provide a complete AD compliance list from the most recent annual inspection.
