Loved Piper Dakota
1840 Hours Total Time A true four-seater that will cruise at 140KTAS+ with full fuel, 4 real size adults and luggage. This model 1981 (1980 manufactured) Piper Dakota PA-28 236B has been precisely maintained and a love project since purchase in 2019. It has exceptionally low hours for its age. Original paint work (minor touch-ups) and interior in good condition as a testimony to the genuinely original condition of this aircraft. Rock solid IFR platform with full Garmin equipped avionics including GFC500 autopilot that fly's approaches with precision. It will cruise at 65-70% power setting at 47-50 LPH and 140-145KTAS at 7500 to 9500 feet. Fuel Capacity is 272 litres usable and ~ 1300LBS (590kg) useful load. |

One of the lighter Dakota's out there and perhaps one of the fastest (stock) - regularly seeing 145KTAS and climbing at 1500fpm. Perfect for the pilot looking for a respectable cruise speed, great STOL performance and load carrying capacity with 4-5 hours endurance. A multitude of items renewed and replaced since ownership in 2019 (cables, bolts, hoses etc.), taking a preventive maintenance approach and sparing no expense. Maintained by Swift Aircraft Services Jandakot Airport All AD's and SB's up to date. |
