1979 Turbo Aztec F

A huge STC cargo hold stands out this Aztec! Carpet flooring including cargo bindings. It is certainly not approved for passengers for size reference, but Jessica is 5 feet 6 inches and is perfect ... do not you think?

This airplane is in good condition! This is on hold and there is a good maintenance history. Turbo, full ice, Garmin GNS 430 W, Arashi telescope and co-pilot, this aircraft is equipped to prepare for your next mission!

Background: Since Piper wanted more twin engine Apache, Azteca was developed in the late 1950s. After several upgrades, it was officially released in 1959, and practically the operation of Apache has ended.

Early Aztecs feature 250 people for two, accommodation of up to six, and several other advances. After years of adjustment, this model has been seen for quite a while until production stopped in 1982. The "F" model contains an improved system and curved chips and tail tip extensions

In addition to the upgraded design, Piper Aztec has several names that makes it a popular model. It is known for its durability, stability and load carrying capacity. You really need to look at this plane and see for yourself what your cargo room might fit!

The zero fuel weight of Apache 235 and original Aztec is limited to 4000 pounds. For naturally aspirated B to F models, any load greater than 4,400 pounds must be fuel. The limit on the turbocharged model is 4,500 pounds. Since the amazing owner did not know this restriction, the wing connection accessory should be a checklist item for pre - purchase inspection. Check the corrosion of the pipe at the bottom of the fuselage there. All Piper Apache 150s and 160s have a 36 gallon fuel bag on each wing, and many have 18 gallon auxiliary tank on both sides. Piper Apache 235 and Piper Azteca each have two 36 gallon batteries. As mentioned earlier, the F model can also be equipped with a 20 gallon internal chip tank. Since the owner reports that the leak frequency is irritated as the fuel bag gets older, regular inspection and exchange need to be included in the budget.

Apache 235 and Turbo Aztec rose to about 220 FPM in one factory. However, some people told Pipar Apache's boss that only one fan is spinning. Only 100 FPM can be seen. Under the hot sun of Florida, better results were obtained with Seneca III workout. In our opinion, the limit of the single engine performance range of lightweight twins - usually less than 200 horsepower of the intake engine - is not safe. There is not enough horsepower to produce anything besides airplanes with few flights. The positive rate of increase depends on the perfect technique and in addition to these requirements the pilot will also see ghosts that are difficult to handle engine output that tend to pile on dead engines.

Several changes have been made to the instrument panel and control from Azteca B to Aztec F, but wing tips and engine nacelles have been slightly modified to improve performance. I will evaluate. The turbo charge model PA - 23T - 250 is sold for an additional $ 10,000 (the base price of Piper Aztec E in 1971 was $ 70,000). Since gears and flaps are hydraulic rather than electric, many owners will track frustration leaks and replace many valves and hydraulic lines. Prior to Piper Aztec F, the hydraulic pump was in the left engine. When the engine is terminated, the pilot needs to prepare many 30 to 50 manual gear extension pumps to lower the wheel. Aztec F adds an auxiliary hydraulic pump to the right engine
