Description

This aircraft has been sold 5-13-2026. I am selling another off marker for now Seneca 2 with engines and props overhauled 2024, 4100TT. This Seneca 3 has the lowest airframe and engine times of any on the market. It has 1475 TOTAL TIME, with 178/478 times on the engines since overhaul and 178/351 on the props.

In that time I have completely gone through the aircraft myself and made sure everything works perfectly. In my ownership time I have installed a NEW Garmin 375 ADS B in and out color GPS That has traffic and weather with bluetooth connectivity for the IPAD apps. This is coupled to (2) GARMIN 275 electronic instruments with backup all coupled to the NEW GARMIN GFC 500 autopilot. Installed is an Insight 4 color twin engine monitor with fuel flow calculations. It has full certification with flight into known icing conditions and new de-ice boots. The onboard color radar helps me navigate airborne storms and the turbos help me get above most weather and take advantage of big tailwinds. I have a 1600 lbs payload and 130 gallons of fuel for approximately 5 hours of flight. One piece windshield STC. GAMI Injectors. Backup attitude indicator and CO2 monitor for safety.

In 2015, it was imported and issued an FAA Airworthiness Certificate. The previous owner had a left engine prop strike on a dirt grass strip where he lived and out of caution overhauled the engine and prop. I have owned this for approximately 3 years and have absolutely enjoyed ownership.
