1978 Piper Turbo Lance IISingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1978 Piper Turbo Lance II (N5543S) presents as a well-maintained, turnkey aircraft with 2,342 total hours on the airframe and only 85 hours since a major engine overhaul by Signature Engines in 2024. Powered by a 300 HP Lycoming TIO-540-S1AD turbocharged engine with 1,800-hour TBO, it delivers strong performance with a cruise speed of 165-175 KTAS and service ceiling of FL200. The aircraft features a new Hartzell 3-blade propeller installed in 2024, complementing the fresh powerplant.

The panel showcases a modern Garmin glass cockpit with dual G3X displays (10" PFD and 7" MFD), GTN 750Xi GPS/NAV/COM, GNC 215 NAV/COM, and integrated GFC 500 digital autopilot - all supported by a G5 backup attitude indicator. With 1,350 lbs useful load and 94-gallon fuel capacity providing 850 NM range, this Lance II is well-equipped for cross-country travel. The six-place interior was updated in 2020 and presents cleanly, while the airframe benefits from hangar storage and no damage history. Complete maintenance records accompany this turnkey package.
