Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.
Today’s Top Pick is a 2001 Piper PA-32RT-301T Turbo Saratoga.
Private pilots who spend a lot of time carrying their families on long-distance journeys know that stable flight characteristics and a spacious cabin can be far more valuable than sporty handling and category-leading cruising speed.
When it comes to carrying passengers, it is best to make the trip as much like traveling in the family car as possible. Your spouse, children, and friends are interested in reaching their destination in a brisk, uneventful fashion, not learning about or experiencing side slips or steep turns. Making sure your flights are straight, level, and smooth will keep your loved ones coming back.
Saratogas truly are set up to make long trips as comfortable as possible, with club seating and one of the widest cabins in the GA piston fleet. Turbocharging gives the airplane for sale here an advantage of more power at higher altitudes than non-turbo models. It can take advantage of higher speeds in the thin air of the flight levels. This aircraft also comes with factory air conditioning and a supplemental oxygen system.
This Turbo Saratoga has 2,750 hours on the airframe and 941 hours since new on its 300 hp engine. The panel features a GMS 340 audio panel, Garmin GTN 750 and GTN 650 GPS Nav/Comms, S-Tec 55x autopilot, GDL 88 with ADS-B In and Out with weather and traffic, Flight Stream 210 Bluetooth and a graphic engine monitor.
Pilots interested in an aircraft that is well-suited for transporting family, friends, and business associates in relaxing comfort over long distances should consider this 2001 Piper Turbo Saratoga, which is available for $379,000 on AircraftForSale.
You can arrange financing of the aircraft through FLYING Finance. For more information, email info@flyingfinance.com.
