1978 Piper Archer IISingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1978 Piper Archer II presents as a well-maintained example with 3,367 total airframe hours and a 1,300-hour engine since major overhaul on its Lycoming O-360-A4M powerplant (2,000-hour TBO). The aircraft features a fixed-pitch propeller and shows solid engine health with recent compression readings of 71/74/68/72. Avionics include a KMA 20 audio panel, KX 155 NAV/COMM, KT 76A transponder, Garmin 150 GPS, and an Artex 406 ELT, providing solid IFR capability. The airframe has been consistently hangared, with new side windows recently installed.

The Archer II shows above-average condition with beige tweed interior and white exterior with orange/black stripes both rated 8.5/10. With 48 gallons of fuel capacity and a useful load of 956 lbs, this four-place aircraft offers practical utility for personal travel. Recent maintenance includes a fresh annual inspection, and the aircraft is equipped with wheel pants and a four-place intercom system. The combination of recent maintenance, hangar storage, and avionics package makes this a turnkey trainer or cross-country aircraft.
