2022 Vans RV-14Experimental Aircraft

This 2022 Vans RV-14 (N325BD) represents a well-equipped example of the popular experimental aircraft, having been completed in February 2022 with just 169.5 hours total time on both airframe and its Thunderbolt YIO-390EXP100 engine. The aircraft features a comprehensive Garmin glass panel setup including dual 10.6" G3X displays serving as primary flight display and multi-function display, supplemented by a GTN 650 GPS/NAV/COMM unit, GTX-45R transponder, GMA-245R audio panel, and GTR-200 secondary radio. Flight automation is handled by a GFC 500 two-axis autopilot with a G5 backup instrument, while electric roll and pitch trim enhance control responsiveness.

The RV-14 is powered by a Hartzell HC-C2YR-1BFP/F7497-2 propeller and benefits from modern upgrades including an EarthX lithium battery and AeroLED lighting system. Maintenance is current with a condition inspection completed in May 2024, ensuring the aircraft is ready for its next owner. This example combines relatively low time with high-end avionics in a proven airframe design.
