1978 Piper Lance IISingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1978 Piper Lance II (N262GC) presents as a well-maintained example with comprehensive upgrades and recent major investments. The airframe shows 6,670.2 total hours, powered by a Lycoming IO-540 engine with 148 hours since major overhaul (SMOH) completed by Tim's Aircraft in 2025, offering approximately 1,850 hours remaining before TBO. The aircraft features a fresh annual completed in May 2025, complete logbooks, and has been owned and maintained by the same professional aviation maintenance shop for 19 years.

Notable upgrades include a new Hartzell 3-blade aluminum propeller with just 5 hours since new, a full Garmin avionics suite with GMX200 MFD, GNS530/430 GPS units, GTX330ES transponder, and Piper autopilot - all WAAS/LPV capable with ADS-B compliance. The interior was completely redone in 2025 with custom light gray leather club seating, charcoal carpeting, and matching panels, rated 10/10. The 2008 paint (rated 8/10) benefits from consistent hangar storage. Additional features include factory air conditioning, new brakes/tires, Insight Strike Finder weather system, and a useful load of 1,350 lbs with 98-gallon fuel capacity for 900 NM range. The aircraft is IFR-certified and based at KLGB.
