2014 Vans RV-12Single-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 2014 Vans RV-12 E-LSA presents as a well-equipped and meticulously maintained light sport aircraft, built by an A&P mechanic and currently based at KDVT in Phoenix, AZ. Powered by a 100 HP Rotax 912ULS engine with 956 hours (matching airframe and propeller time), the aircraft features a fresh annual completed in November 2024 and a recent gearbox overhaul in August 2024. The avionics suite is centered around a Dynon SkyView Classic glass panel with full 2-axis autopilot capability, coupled with a Garmin GTN200 comm radio and ADS-B In/Out functionality for IFR training capability. Performance figures include a 1200 fpm climb rate, 110-120 KTAS cruise speed, and economical 4.5-5 GPH fuel burn.

The aircraft shows careful ownership with complete logbooks, no accident history, and maintenance performed exclusively with official Rotax parts at 50-hour intervals. Notable features include leather seats, a full set of Bruce custom covers, Kroger sun shade, and a new Sensenich propeller with updated hub. The useful load of 760 lbs and responsive handling make it suitable for both cross-country travel and short-field operations, as demonstrated by successful flights to challenging airports like Telluride and Flagstaff. Recent updates include an EFIS backup battery tested through April 2025 and compliance with all relevant service bulletins, including a new prop hub installation. The seller emphasizes the aircraft's readiness for immediate flight operations and its dual role as both an enjoyable sport flyer and practical time-builder.
