1978 Piper Arrow IVSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1978 Piper Arrow IV (N3023K) presents a comprehensively upgraded airframe with only 5,800 total hours and a factory-rebuilt Lycoming IO-360-C1C6 engine installed in April 2018 with 280 hours since new. The aircraft features a McCauley three-blade high-efficiency propeller installed concurrently with the engine, both showing 1,700 hours remaining before overhaul. Notably, this airframe underwent a full refurbishment including fuel tank repairs, empennage service work, control system updates, and corrosion checks with all recent ADs completed.

The avionics suite is a standout feature, having been completely modernized with a Garmin GTN 750Xi/650Xi stack, GFC500 digital autopilot, GTX345D ADS-B transponder, and three GI-275 displays. The vacuum system has been removed as part of the upgrade. The aircraft received a fresh professional paint job in 2023 replicating the iconic X-Plane simulator livery, complemented by a new leather interior in braun/beige tones with modern amenities like USB charging ports and tablet holders. With its WAAS/LPV/SVT capability and active traffic monitoring, this IFR-certified Arrow IV represents a turnkey platform for both training and cross-country missions.
