N8160D can accomplish your mission with all your family and friends in the flatlands or in the mountains. Equipped with a turbocharged Lycoming TIO 540 Engine, high density altitude barely makes the airplane flinch. 6 place factory installed oxygen allows the pilot and passengers to breath comfortably at altitude, allowing the turbo Lycoming engine to get up and go fast (150 KTAS at 8,000 feet on an ISA +15 day; add 2 KTAS per 1,000 feet of altitude as a rough estimate for higher altitude speeds).
If it fits, it ships in a Piper Turbo Saratoga for sale. With a huge useful load, if you can close the doors, N8160D can carry the load. Skis, golf clubs, suitcases, kids supplies, hiking gear, folding bikes; the possibilities are endless.
The STEC 30 Autopilot works like a dream, reducing the pilot workload and allowing the PIC to arrive at the destination with less fatigue and ready to go (especially after breathing O2 for 3 hours).
ADS-B In & Out compliant through the Garmin GTX 345 transponder, complete with bluetooth ADS-B traffic and weather for the PIC’s iPad.
Airplane has been owned by the current owner since 2008, hangared the entire time, so the paint and interior are in good condition.
This airplane needs a new home, so call Texas Top Aviation today to put this in your hangar.
