1978 Piper Lance IISingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1978 Piper Lance II (N9585C) presents a well-equipped piston single with 3,890 total hours on the airframe and a Lycoming IO-540-K1G5D engine showing 1,858 hours since major overhaul by Aviall in 1987, with compression checks in July 2024 showing consistent mid-to-high 70s readings across all cylinders. The aircraft features a 2-blade Hartzell aluminum propeller with 665 hours since its 2003 overhaul. Avionics highlights include an Apollo CNX-80 WAAS GPS/Comm, Garmin GTX-327 transponder with Sky Beacon ADS-B Out, Altimatic III autopilot, and WX-900 Stormscope for weather avoidance, complemented by a Mac 1700 digital nav/comm and Apollo SL-10 audio panel.

The Lance II has been hangared and features club seating with blue fabric upholstery and matching carpeting, along with a full logbook history. Its exterior sports an all-white scheme with dark blue and silver trim. A notable event in April 1979 involved an off-field landing, with all repairs properly completed. The aircraft's current annual inspection is valid through July 2025, and it includes useful features like electric trim, LED landing light, wingtip strobes, and an Insight 6-cylinder engine monitor. With its recent compression checks and WAAS-capable GPS, this Lance II appears ready for IFR operations.
