1981 Piper Seneca IIIMulti-Engine Piston Aircraft • Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

This is a well-equipped 1981 Piper Seneca III, registered as VH-FYU, with a total airframe time of 2,350 hours. The aircraft has recently undergone significant updates, including a new windscreen fitted in February 2024 and a complete refurbishment of the fuel injection system with new seals and diaphragms. The airframe benefits from Lo Presti wing tips and engine cowls, and it has a very extensive recent Piper 100-hour inspection. There is a full cabin cover and engine bungs included.

The engines are both at 740 hours since overhaul (SOH) with a TBO of 2,000 hours. The propellers show one at 430 hours SOH and the other at 1,080 hours SOH....
