1978 Piper Turbo Arrow IIISingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1978 Piper Turbo Arrow III (N47827) presents a well-equipped IFR platform with a low-time airframe showing 2,785 total hours and a factory remanufactured engine/propeller combination with just 690 hours since major overhaul. The aircraft recently underwent its annual inspection in April 2024, with the next due in April 2025. The avionics suite features a capable IFR panel including a Garmin 155XL GPS, dual King radios (KY-197 and KX-155), KNS-80 RNAV, KI-525A HSI, and an STEC 60PSS autopilot with altitude preselect and vertical speed hold.

Notable performance enhancements include a Turbo Plus intercooler system, Merlyn auto waste gate, GAMIjectors, and speed brakes, complemented by useful modifications like built-in SkyOx oxygen with four outlets and a standby vacuum system. The airframe shows very good interior condition and overall good exterior paint, though the leading edges require some touch-up. A 2009 incident involving partial hangar collapse resulted in minor damage, but the aircraft maintains a useful load of 998 lbs. This Turbo Arrow III represents a well-maintained example with recent inspections and desirable performance upgrades.
