This 1975 Piper Aztec E (N7718A) presents as a comprehensively upgraded multi-engine aircraft with a fresh Garmin avionics suite and recent mechanical attention. The airframe shows 7,571 total hours, with the left engine at 113 hours SMOH and the right at 1,117 hours SMOH, paired with new Hartzell heated propellers at 116 hours since new. The 2022 repaint complements the airframe's excellent condition, which includes new tinted windows, a VG kit, LED lighting, and a 2023 overhaul of hydraulic pumps, magnetos, fuel boost pumps, and vacuum systems.
The aircraft features a full Garmin panel with a G500 system featuring synthetic vision, GTN750/650XI navigators, and a fully integrated EIS, all wired through a new harness with electroluminescent lighting. The interior remains pristine with no upholstery damage and includes new Rosen sun visors plus Stratus USB charging ports. Notably, the installation was designed for future GFC600 autopilot compatibility pending FAA approval. With its IFR capability, six-seat configuration, and recent turbo-style oil coolers plus engine baffling, this Aztec blends modern systems with proven airframe reliability. The seller notes the aircraft was personally upgraded for long-term use before mission requirements shifted.
