Piper Lance partnership 25% share available KHPN - refresh

10 Upvotes

1976 PA-32R-300 Piper Lance, 300 HP, 6 seats, based at KHPN.

A member is retiring in the co-ownership and is selling their share.

Plane is valued around $200k, levelled with the market per similar-vintage planes with low-time-after-SMOH engines per trade-a-plane.com. Expect to negotiate starting around 25% of that valuation.

This is a "family van" plane, with a useful load (1,399 lbs) that beats most other piston singles, and it's also a pretty fast plane for a normally aspirated piston single. It will fly six people for real.

Total Airframe time: 5867 hr.

Propeller time: 147 hr.

Engine time: 16 hr SMOH.

The engine has been just overhauled by Zephyr (https://www.zephyrengines.com), one of the most reputable overhaul shops in the country. The fresh engine performs notably better than before the overhaul.

The engine is an IO-540-K1G5D, normally aspirated, dual magnetos.
The post-overhaul break-in procedures were completed per Zephyr instructions without surprises.

(Stats up to date as of July 2026.)

Annual was completed in May 2026.

The plane has a tie-down contract at Million Air.

The current members all live in the KHPN/KDXR area.

Prior to the engine overhaul, the plane had no known squawks and flew regularly, including flights Chicago-NY at 17,000 ft.

6 seats (7th seat not installed). We acquired the supplemental STC necessary to fly it with BasicMed before BasicMed was extended to 7 seats.

Tank capacity is 98 gallons, 94 usable.

At economy settings, endurance can exceed 8 hours, and range can exceed 1,000 NM.

It has a 1,399 lbs useful load, which is one of the highest in this segment.

Avionics:

  • Garmin GNS530 WAAS,
  • one Garmin G5 unit configured as HSI
  • separate COM2+NAV2 radio
  • original Piper Altimatic IIIC autopilot driven via Garmin GAD29 digital/analog interface, capable of flying holds, instrument approaches with glide slope capture, and do turn anticipation
  • Stand-by vacuum system
  • Garmin GTX345 transponder
  • GMA340 audio panel,
  • JPI EDM 700 digital engine monitor.

Members are potentially discussing an avionics upgrade. Incoming member would join the discussion.

Solid IFR platform.

Plane is owned via a Corporation. and the incoming member would purchase the share from the outgoing one. You will negotiate the price directly with the outgoing member. Expect the price to be 1/4 of the market value of a contemporaneous Lance. Each member owns one share; usual partnership operating agreement terms; expect no surprises. The Corp has no liens, no debts, no financial obligations to anybody.

The notional, wet hourly rate that the Corp charges its own members to cover fuel, maintenance and engine reserves varies between $150/h and $200/h (Tach time) depending on fuel costs and accounting.

Fixed costs per member hover in the area of $1,200-$1,500 per member per quarter.
They cover for insurance, tie down, GPS navigational subscriptions and other recurring costs.

Historical annuals have been in the $10k-$20k area, depending on maintenance events and expiration of life-limited parts.

We are happy to talk to pilot applicants with any level of experience. We will happily take applicants without an HP endorsement, a complex endorsement and no prior PA32R time, but they will have to build time in type after joining the partnership, to satisfy insurance requirements. Expect the insurance to require 10...20 hours of dual received time before you can fly the plane solo.

A CFI/CFII is available in the partnership to help you qualify for insurance purposes.

The Lance flies like a big Archer and it's easy to land. If you have experience in a PA28, you'll learn the PA32R quickly and without much difficulty.

Scheduling works with "priority weeks": every week in a year gets attributed to one member in a round-robin rotation. Whenever you want to fly the plane, you can just go if it's your priority week. If it's not, you only need to ask the owner of that week. In many years, plane availability has never been a problem or a source of contention.

DM me for an introduction to the members and details on the plane.

Would these be a good buy? I am drawn to that SSC777 a bit, but dont know a lot about them.

Looking for Aviator’s Club tickets for OshKosh 2026

0 Upvotes

Heading to OshKosh 2026 and Looking for 2-4x Aviator's Club NORTH tickets on Tuesday OR 2-4x Aviator's Club NORTH/SOUTH tickets on Wednesday.

My father (Ret. Maj. / Air Force) is 88 and he and I have been flying into OshKosh since I got my pilot's license - this is our fifth year making the trek. His wife (about the same age) is not into planes but loves him and so comes along, but she definitely tires out quickly. She's been an absolute trooper the three years she came (dad and I camped next to our plane the first year), but I wanted to make it easier on her this year on at least one of the days.

Looking for four tickets because my brother is also coming this year, but as long as I can get 2 tickets for her and dad, we will make it work.

Thank you!

A Modern $100 Hamburger Community - PilotsDiner is now Live!

Thumbnail
pilotsdiner.com
0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I just launched PilotsDiner, a free site for the aviation “$100 hamburger” crowd:
https://pilotsdiner.com

The goal is to make it easier for pilots to find and share good fly-in food stops.

What you can do:

  • Search a map of airports with nearby/on-field restaurants
  • View airport pages with runways, runway lengths, frequencies, etc. (Always verify against current FAA data).
  • View restaurant pages tied to airport pages
  • Add missing fly-in restaurants
  • Suggest edits to restaurant info like hours, cuisine, description, website, phone, etc.
  • Upvote/downvote community edits so bad info can be corrected
  • Write restaurant reviews.
  • Log places you’ve visited.
  • Upload restaurant/menu photos
  • Post trip reports (what the site calls "PIREPS")
  • Join the forums and share route ideas, food stops, updates, and local knowledge
  • Build out your pilot profile

It’s free to create an account and use the core site. There is an optional paid Hangar Club tier for extra tools/features, but the main restaurant map, restaurant pages, reviews, forums, PIREPs, and community edits are free. I really tried to make this super affordable if you do want to support the site, but its not required!

This is a new launch, so there may be some rough spots. I've spent a lot of time testing, refining, and testing again, to ensure the experience is as smooth as possible.

If you know a great airport restaurant that’s missing, or you spot bad data, I’d genuinely appreciate the help making it better. Appreciate all constructive feedback in the comments, or in the bug reports section of the forums, on the site.

Blue skies, and I hope it helps someone find their next $100 hamburger.

There's no good free aircraft management software for owners and clubs, so I built one

11 Upvotes

There aren't any decent free options for aircraft management aimed at owners and club/school operators. Every site/app I looked at was either per-seat priced, capped at one aircraft on the free tier, or charged extra for stuff like scheduling and squawk tracking that I think should just be included. So I built one and I'm calling it ChocksOff.

The free tier is the actual product, not a teaser. You get unlimited aircraft, unlimited members, unlimited instructors, scheduling for both aircraft and CFIs, maintenance and squawk tracking with photos, flight logging, document storage, financial reporting, and invoice generation. No card, no trial timer, no aircraft caps.

The paid tiers exist for AI features like digitizing logbooks, oil trend analysis parsed from PDF lab reports and integrations like auto flight logging via a Garmin GDL-60 (coming soon), in-app payment processing for member invoices. Send me a message if you sign up and I'll enable the paid features for your account for free.

Mobile first UI was the hard requirement for me because all of the other apps or sites are horrible on mobile so I wanted to make sure it works well on my phone because honestly, that's the only platform I'm using especially on the the go. It's easy enough to just snap a picture of the hobbs and tach and upload it as a flight log entry.

If you're an aircraft owner flying partly for business, contemporaneous flight logging for IRS audit purposes is a must, so that piece got the most attention from me.

Plenty of rough edges still. Honest feedback welcome, including the brutal kind.

Started as a spreadsheet - now run all your aircraft financial numbers and models in one tool

0 Upvotes

This started as an Excel spreadsheet I was passing around to a few friends who were looking for in-depth cost of ownership numbers for planes. Eventually, it outgrew what a standard spreadsheet could handle, so I decided to make it a digital product.

The Owner Intelligence Suite instantly covers the math most buyers need when making an aircraft purchase, or looking to enter a leaseback arrangement — true cost of ownership, leaseback economics with operator splits and breakeven hours, P&L estimations, and a simple 5-year exit projection. 28 aircraft presets, everything linked so changing one input updates the whole model instantly. Exports a clean PDF if you want to download to a device.

Priced differently based on your needs. Full yearly access, or subscribe monthly for as long as you need, and cancel any time.

$39/month or $395/year.

Built by a CFI.

ownerintelligence.narberaviation.com if you want to take a look!

High Performance Selling my airplane - need advice

2 Upvotes

This is my first post here and I don't want to break any sub rules, so I am just making a very general first post.

I have an airplane I have been trying to sell on a big listing site. I've had several tire-kicker emails. Only one person has actually came out for a pre-buy, a week later said his financing fell through.

Am I allowed to post a link here? Or just post the whole sales package and pricing? What is the best way to get some views and some feedback from the community?

Thanks in advance

Speak Up Today for Safer Flights Tomorrow

0 Upvotes

🛫 As global air transportation becomes increasingly complex, proactive safety management has never been more important. ICAO continues to promote the development of State Safety Programmes (SSP) to systematically identify and mitigate aviation safety risks.

To support safer and more efficient civil aviation operations, we sincerely invite all pilots to report any potential safety hazards encountered during takeoff or landing at airports in Mainland China. Once a report is received, we will promptly coordinate with the relevant airport authorities to verify the issue and support timely corrective actions. Every piece of feedback contributes to safer operations for crews, passengers, and the industry as a whole. All reports and personal information will be treated with strict confidentiality.

❤️ A small report today may prevent a major risk tomorrow!

📢 If you support this initiative, we would truly appreciate your repost to help reach more pilots and aviation professionals.

ClearedForLunch update: more restaurants, make suggestions, still free!

29 Upvotes

Hi All - a couple of weeks ago I posted about my $100 hamburger finder here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheHangar/comments/1st52ul/100_hamburger_finder_100_free/

https://www.clearedforlunch.com

I appreciate all the feedback!

I've made some updates:

  • Improved how search works, so there are about 400 new restaurants (roughly 125 high confidence to be on-field) in the database
  • Added a "suggest restaurant" link. You'll fill out a basic form, and you'll have to include your real email address and confirm the submission from that email address. I did it that way to avoid users having to create accounts.
  • Added a "suggest correction" link to each restaurant (scroll down to the bottom). Same process as suggesting a restaurant.

Hopefully this is an easy way to let users contribute local knowledge! I'm still debating on community comments. I want to keep this lightweight, but appreciate the utility of folks being able to provide local experience!

Regardless, it will always be 100% free, although I'll accept coffee donations 😄
