This 1981 Piper Navajo Chieftain (N4097K) presents a well-maintained twin-engine aircraft with a low total time of 2,365.5 hours and a comprehensive 2005 "Lock & Key" renovation. The airframe is equipped with vortex generators, zip-tip winglets, and four-bladed "Q" tip Hartzell props (overhauled in 2005 with 1,250 hours since new). Power comes from a pair of Lycoming TIO-540 engines, also overhauled in 2005 with 1,250 hours since overhaul and 1,800-hour TBOs remaining. The aircraft features a modern Garmin avionics suite including dual WAAS-capable GNS530W/430W GPS units, GTX330ES transponder, Avidyne EX500 moving map with weather link, and a King KFC200 autopilot with flight director.

The executive interior showcases eight seats in a gorgeous beige leather configuration with folding writing tables, a lavatory, and factory oxygen system. Additional features include factory air conditioning, Shadin digital fuel flow, EDM760 engine monitor, and BF Goodrich Skywatch traffic alert. The exterior sports a striking white/blue and gold metallic paint scheme with ground recognition lights. With an annual inspection due in June 2025 and complete logs available, this Chieftain offers a turnkey solution for buyers seeking a capable twin with updated systems and a well-documented maintenance history.
