Model
ARROW III

This 1978 Piper Arrow III presents as a well-equipped IFR platform with recent panel upgrades and strong maintenance history. The airframe shows 3,020 total hours, while the Lycoming IO-360 engine has 798 hours since its 1995 major overhaul by Mattituck Airbase, with a subsequent top overhaul completed in 2020. The aircraft features a modern Garmin suite including a GTN 650 WAAS GPS, three GI275 displays (attitude, HSI, and engine monitoring), and a GFC 500 autopilot, complemented by a GMA 345 audio panel and GTX 345 transponder with ADS-B capability.

Externally, the Arrow benefits from a Lopresti cowling and was last painted in 2000, while the interior received a refresh in 2020. The three-blade McCauley aluminum propeller and WAAS/LPV capability make this a capable cross-country machine. With its 200HP engine and four-seat configuration, this aircraft combines modern avionics with proven airframe reliability. A Vref appraisal is available for prospective buyers.
