1981 Piper T Saratoga SPSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1981 Piper T Saratoga SP presents as a well-maintained, high-performance single with strong operational metrics and a modernized avionics suite. With 2,316 total airframe hours and a Lycoming TIO-540-S1AD showing 636 hours since major overhaul (against a 1,800-hour TBO), the aircraft benefits from consistent hangar storage and complete logbook documentation since new.

Performance highlights include a 177-knot cruise speed, 730 NM range, 20,000 ft service ceiling with built-in oxygen, and a 1,260 lb useful load.

The avionics package features an Aspen EFD1000 Pro PFD, Garmin GNS 430W WAAS, and KFC 200 autopilot for IFR capability, complemented by a G5 heading indicator, dual King KX165 nav/comms, and JPI color engine analyzer. The Hartzell 3-blade propeller incorporates an upgraded hub. Both interior and exterior condition are described as excellent, with premium seating, no visible wear, and only minor paint chips noted. ADS-B Out compliance and digital maintenance records enhance operational readiness. This Turbo Saratoga SP combines speed, range, and modern systems in a well-documented airframe.
