Piper Cherokee 180 Glass Cockpit

The Piper Cherokee 180 is a versatile single-engine aircraft designed for both visual and instrument flying. With its advanced glass cockpit system, it's an ideal choice for pilots who demand precision navigation and control. One of the key features of this aircraft is its GPS system, which replaces one set of Nav/Coms and the ADF, making it easier to navigate through complex airspace.

The Piper Cherokee 180 came from the factory equipped with dual Nav/Coms and an ADF for IFR flying. The autopilot takes course guidance from various sources, including the Collins VIR 351 Nav radio for localizer and ILS approaches, as well as VOR course guidance. With the S-Tec autopilot, pilots can enjoy course guidance for all approaches, including RNAV and ILS.

The GTN650 GPS provides simulated glideslope for localizer and NDB approaches, while actual glideslope is provided for RNAV and ILS approaches. The Garmin Flight Stream 510 connects to the tablet via WiFi, allowing pilots to transfer database updates previously downloaded at home. This seamless integration makes it easy to stay up-to-date with the latest navigation data.

In addition to its advanced GPS system, the Piper Cherokee 180 features a range of other avionics systems, including radios from Collins and Garmin. The aircraft is also equipped with an S-TEC autopilot system, which provides altitude hold and paired guidance for GPS and DG or localizer/glideslope approaches.

This particular Piper Cherokee 180 has been owned by the same pilot since September 1997, with a total time of 4,726 hours logged. The aircraft has undergone regular maintenance, including an annual inspection and IFR certification in recent years. The Lycoming O-360-A3A engine is known for its reliability and has been overhauled recently.

The Piper Cherokee 180 is ideal for pilots who want to explore the western United States, Canada, and Baja. With its advanced glass cockpit system and reliable engine, this aircraft is a great choice for those who demand precision navigation and control. Whether flying IFR or VFR, the Piper Cherokee 180 is an excellent option for pilots of all levels.
