Default Best-equipped PA-31 Ever?



WAAS, A/P, YD, radar altimeter, weather radar, stormscope . . . the list goes on and on. What's really interesting is that all the captain's flight instruments (TC included) are vacuum-powered, whereas all the F/O's are electrically powered. Check out the display resting on the F/O's seat, too.

Too many wires hanging about.
I've seen some Labcorps Pa31's. They make this one look like its from the Stone Age.

I met Jones a few years back. He does good work. That's about as close to a new cabin class twin you're going to see. BUT you can get a King Air for the same price. Before he started with the glass, they were in the $900k range. The reman engines are $52k each. The one listed isn't even a Chieftain. Looks like the standby AI is air, too.

Only good thing about a Chieftain is listening to them take off.

I have a hard time believing the left-seat AI in the picture at the top isn't electric...

The link on the Lock and Key Navajo has the same one on the co-pilots side you can zoom in to the photo. It looks like it says "AIR" at the top, while its HSI says "DC".

Looks like the photo in the OP says the same.
