1972 Piper Cherokee 140Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1972 Piper Cherokee 140 (N15148) presents as a well-maintained IFR-equipped trainer with recent upgrades and a fresh annual inspection completed in April 2024. The airframe shows 9,438 total hours, with the Lycoming O-320-E3D engine at 1,402 hours SMOH and the Sensenich two-blade prop at 1,397 hours SPOH - both overhauled in January 2000. Recent maintenance highlights include a new Airtex interior installed in 2023 with charcoal/gray upholstery and carpet (rated 8/10), a new vacuum pump in August 2024, and compliance with the critical wing spar AD inspection in December 2021 (next due 2028).

The aircraft features a capable IFR panel with dual Narco NAV/COMs (MK-12D+ with glideslope and Escort II), Mode S transponder, and PS Engineering intercom. Additional equipment includes a Reiff preheater, Precise Flight standby vacuum system, and electronic fuel flow monitoring. While the exterior paint shows some wear (rated 6/10), the airframe carries a single damage event from a 1974 hard landing resulting in gear collapse. With 826 lbs useful load and fresh compressions in the 72-78/80 range, this Cherokee offers solid utility as a time-builder or trainer.
