Description
Sold-Very nice ready to go "buy and fly" Saratoga that needs nothing! Very good paint, interior, strong engine, factory airconditioned with new instrument panel upgrade make this a highly desirable aircraft! Beautiful Garmin panel including GTN650xi latest GPS, with Garmin backup 430 WAAS receiver all coupled to dual Garmin G5's (including wind and temperature computer) and a Garmin GI 275 AHRS backup instrument connected to NEW Garmin GFC 500 autopilot. This aircraft has factory air-conditioning so the passengers fly in comfort. The turbo puts you well above most traffic and weather where you can take advantage of tailwinds and fuel economy. Engine management is performed by the primary certified EDM 930 engine management system that has removed all the old original gauges and replaced with a new clean instrument panel. Nexrad free traffic and weather displays on the GPS screens and the AHRS backup navigator. This is not a hanger queen and has flown approximately 350 hours in the last 2 years. This is a very reliable aircraft!
