A 2009 sale listing gives a 350 hp Lycoming TIO-540-AE2A engine. No flight manual was supplied, so confirm every figure against the specific aircraft's own documents.

  • A seller's listing claims cruise up to 225 knots and about 1,300 nm range. These are not POH figures, so verify them.

Engine and propeller

The engine is a Lycoming TIO-540-AE2A (350 hp, turbocharged). The Hartzell propeller is an 80-inch, three-blade, constant-speed unit. The aftermarket ASC-II version weighs 64.0 pounds with spinner and has a 2400 hour / 6 year TBO. Ask which propeller is fitted and its overhaul status. Prop overhaul must be done by an approved repair station.

Maintenance items to check

Acorn Welding SB #1103 covers the Mirage/Matrix with the TIO-540-AE2A. Inspect the engine mount actuator attach feet for cracks. Repeat every 100 hrs until the mount is replaced. Serial numbers 4622003 thru 4622200 and 4636001 thru 4636317 are listed. AD 2010-13-07 calls for riveted exhaust clamps in place of spot-welded ones. Confirm both are complied with.

Avionics and equipment

The example 2009 listing has an Avidyne Entegra Release 9 suite with dual IFD-5000 displays, a TAS-610 traffic system, an S-TEC 55X autopilot, oxygen, air conditioning and speed brakes. A Matrix was also upgraded to R9 in 2011. Check which avionics release is fitted and what any autopilot upgrade would cost.

Summary written by AI from the source document. Check the original before relying on it. See which parts of Sprinkle are written by AI.

Safety notes

  • Running the prop de-ice system without the engine running is limited to 10 seconds. Longer can severely damage the composite blades.
  • SB #1103: inspect the engine mount actuator attach feet for cracks. Repeat every 100 hrs until the mount is replaced.
  • After a lightning strike, the prop de-ice brush block MOV (lightning protection) module must be replaced.
