1976 Piper LanceSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1976 Piper Lance (N56GS) presents a well-equipped and maintained example of the powerful six-seat single with 4,777 total airframe hours. The aircraft features a 300 hp Lycoming IO-540-K1G5D engine with 640 hours since remanufacture, noted for smooth operation and minimal oil consumption, paired with a 425-hour prop. With a substantial 1,375 lb useful load and cruise performance of 150 knots, this Lance combines payload capability with efficient cross-country speed.

The panel stands out with a modern Garmin glass cockpit suite including a G500 PFD/MFD system, dual GTN-750/650 navigators, ADS-B In/Out, and Century 2000 autopilot. The aircraft received a paint refresh in 2008 and sports a 2014 blue/gray leather interior described as "all new." While the listing emphasizes the aircraft's "perfect" airframe and excellent panel condition, prospective buyers should review the detailed photos to assess the "good paint" and interior as noted in the remarks. The seller appears motivated, presenting this as an opportunity to acquire a well-appointed Lance with recent avionics investments.
