1978 Piper Turbo Lance IISingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1978 Piper Turbo Lance II (N54BG) presents as a well-maintained, IFR-capable six-seater with excellent cross-country capabilities. The airframe shows 2,812 total hours with no known damage history and has always been hangared, maintaining clean exterior surfaces with its distinctive four-color paint scheme (white/deep red maroon with black/gold stripes) that received ceramic coating in 2019. Power comes from a turbocharged Lycoming TIO-540-S1AD engine with 1,117 hours SMOH (300 HP), coupled to a three-blade Hartzell propeller, delivering cruise speeds of 165-175 KIAS and a service ceiling of FL200 with an estimated 800NM range from its 94-gallon tanks.

The aircraft features a well-equipped panel including a Garmin 530 WAAS with ADS-B In/Out, Century III autopilot, Garmin GTX 327 transponder, Aerospace Logic digital fuel gauges, and a six-cylinder engine monitor. The tan leather interior with club seating presents clean (rated 8/10) along with light brown carpets. Recent maintenance includes a fresh annual completed in April 2025, along with compliant transponder, altimeter/encoder checks, and a new ELT battery installed the same month. Notable upgrades include LED wingtip/landing lights, electric trim, digital tachometer, and a battery-operated Power Tow 40EZ system. With complete logs and no scheduled maintenance due, this Turbo Lance II is turnkey ready for its next owner.
