Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.

Today’s Top Pick is a 1974 Piper PA-28R-200 Arrow.

Piper’s range of fixed-gear PA-28s, from the Cherokee 140 to the 235 hp Dakota, can handle many missions including training, personal travel, and cargo hauling. But for pilots in search of a personal aircraft with a bit more speed and efficiency than the similar looking fixed-gear models, the Arrow presents an appealing combination of speed, good looks, and economy.

For pilots who trained for their private certificates in Pipers, the Arrow is a natural step up that is less likely to break your budget than larger, more powerful models that have more complex systems and burn a lot more fuel. The Arrow for sale here is also a well-equipped training platform for pilots seeking commercial, instrument, and other advanced ratings.

This 1974 Arrow has 6,731 hours on the airframe, 849 hours since overhaul on its 200 hp Lycoming IO-360-C1C engine, and 177 hours since overhaul on the propeller. The engine is equipped with GAMI injectors.

The panel features a Garmin GMA 340 audio panel, Garmin GNS 430 WAAS GPS/nav/comm with localizer and glideslope, MAC 1700 nav/comm, Garmin GTX 345 transponder, Century II autopilot, and JPI EDM 800 engine monitor.

Pilots looking for a four-seat retractable that is suitable for long cross-country trips but easy to handle and familiar to those who trained in Piper PA-28s should consider this 1974 Piper PA-28R-200 Arrow, which is available for $84,900 on AircraftForSale.
