1976 Piper LanceSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Mesa, AZ, USA

This 1976 Piper Lance, registration N924SM, is a well-maintained six-seat IFR aircraft currently based in Mesa, Arizona, with a total time of 6,041 hours on the airframe. The standout feature is its recently overhauled Lycoming IO-540 K1A5D 300 HP engine, with just 10 hours since major overhaul, complemented by a low-time Scimitar Prop (635 hours SMOH) and a newly overhauled prop governor. The aircraft received a fresh, thorough annual inspection by a third party and a recent IFR inspection, both completed in May 2026. Notably, the airframe has a logged nose gear collapse incident in 2020 with all repairs documented.
