This 1977 Grumman American AA-5B Tiger (registration C-FVCW) presents a well-maintained example with recent major investments, featuring a factory-rebuilt Lycoming O-360-A4K engine with only 40 hours since major overhaul completed in June 2024. The 180HP powerplant drives a Sensenich 76EM8510-0-62 climb prop, with recently overhauled magnetos and a new HE oil cooler. The airframe shows 3,247 total hours with freshly sealed fuel tanks and maintains VFR/IFR capability through its Garmin GMA 340 audio panel, Apollo GX60 IFR GPS/COM, and Narco AT150 transponder (Mode C/ADS-B compliant).
The aircraft boasts a generous 980 lb useful load with 52-gallon fuel capacity, delivering cruise performance around 130 KTAS and climb rates exceeding 1,000 FPM. Both paint and interior are rated 7-10 condition, complementing the Tiger's signature bonded skin construction and sliding canopy that provides exceptional visibility. The listing emphasizes its short-field capability and cross-country readiness, with all modifications properly documented via STC. Priced at $110,000 USD ($145,000 CAD), this example stands out for its fresh engine and above-average payload capacity within the Tiger series.
