1972 Piper SenecaMulti-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1972 Piper Seneca (HB-LML) presents as an IFR-capable twin with 9,881 hours on the airframe, currently based in Switzerland. The aircraft features a 1991 landing accident history involving a main gear collapse and wing spar repair at 6,557 hours, along with missing logs from 1972-1981 prior to Swiss registration. Power comes from two Textron-Lycoming engines - the left (IO-360-C1E6) showing 10,251 hours with 1,155 since overhaul by Mattituck in 1998, and the right (LIO-360-C1E6) at 7,758 hours with 1,686 since its 1996 overhaul. Both engines operate under Switzerland's private-use TBO exemption.

The avionics suite includes a Garmin GNS530 WAAS, King KX125 COM, coupled Autocontr III autopilot, and full IFR instrumentation with B-RNAV capability. De-icing systems include pneumatic wing/empennage protection and electrothermal propeller de-icing. The aircraft carries an increased MTOW approval to 4,560 lbs, with a current useful load of 453 lbs at full fuel (93 USG standard tanks plus optional ferry tank documentation). The exterior shows in light gray/maroon at 7/10 condition, while the blue vinyl interior and gray fabric seats rate 9/10. Annual inspection and EASA ARC are currently overdue, and the aircraft is being sold "as is" with recent maintenance including fuel vent line hose replacement in 2007 and propeller overhauls with improved hubs that same year.
