This airplane is lit up like an airliner inside and out. Undoubtedly one of the best equipped Arrows or SEL airplanes you will find. Faster, and better equipped than a new Arrow for less than half the price. This is a metal plane folks ! Not a plastic or carbon fiber disposable airframe platform like a DA40. This airframe is designed to outlast plastic planes. For those of you who are familiar with this airplane and followed the refurbishment through AOPA Pilot Magazine, you know what airplane I am talking about. For those of you who aren't, read on. How about on board weather ? Well... With help from Avidyne we have that covered too. Jeppesen Sanderson Approach plates are now standard in this Arrow.


Recently added (((MX/WX))) Weather, and 3 Lo-PrestiBoom Beams! HID narrow beam landing light, 2 HID wing tip lights with wider beams for taxi and recognition. Wing tip lights can be alternately flashed with Pulse Light system. 2.4 Million candle power! Nobody misses this plane!

                               

5,000 hour guaranteed life, vibration resistant, low current and EXTREMELY BRIGHT!!!
No Filament to break !   High Volts / Low Watts - means less strain on the alternator !
See Lo-Presti for details. Make your arrow Ultimate at night too !
