1979 PIPER ARROW IV PA-28RT-201, N281CA LOW-TIME ENGINE, GARMIN WAAS GPS, ADS-B IN/OUT, S-TEC AUTOPILOT, FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING, THREE-BLADE PROP This 1979 Piper Arrow IV combines the performance and versatility of a 200 HP, fuel-injected Lycoming engine with retractable landing gear, a distinctive T-tail design, and a well-equipped IFR avionics panel. With 5,548 hours total time and just 365 hours since new on the engine (installed in 2010), N281CA offers an attractive combination of equipment, capability, and value for pilots seeking a four-place, complex single-engine aircraft. AVIONICS & IFR CAPABILITY The aircraft features a Garmin GNS 430W WAAS GPS/NAV/COM with a new display screen installed in 2026, Garmin GTX 345 ADS-B In/Out transponder, Garmin GDL 69 XM weather receiver, and Garmin GMA 340 audio panel. Additional navigation equipment includes a Bendix/King KX 155 NAV/COM with glideslope, KN 62A DME, and KCS 55A HSI system. An S-TEC System 40 autopilot with altitude hold adds convenience for cross-country operations, complemented by a four-place intercom, dual push-to-talk switches, and dual avionics master switches. ENGINE, PROPELLER & AIRFRAME Powered by a 200 HP Lycoming IO-360-C1C6 fuel-injected engine with a reported 365 hours since new, this Arrow IV features a three-blade McCauley aluminum constant-speed propeller with 773 hours since factory overhaul. The propeller was installed in 2004, and the aircraft is equipped with an alternator/air conditioning belt pulley STC. Its retractable landing gear, low-wing design, and 74-gallon reported fuel capacity make it a versatile platform for personal transportation and cross-country flying. COMFORT & CABIN FEATURES Factory-installed air conditioning is a particularly desirable feature, complemented by electric elevator trim, overhead ventilation outlets and fan, and a four-place cabin. The interior was updated in 1997 and features coordinated tan fabric and vinyl upholstery, matching headliner, sidewalls, carpeting, and trim. Additional conveniences include cabin sun visors, storage pockets, auxiliary music input, and an exterior-access baggage compartment with securing straps. Overhead ventilation outlets were replaced in 2005. EXTERIOR & APPEARANCE The aircraft features a classic white exterior with burgundy and gray accent striping, coordinated tail markings, and the distinctive Arrow IV T-tail configuration. Its three-blade McCauley propeller and retractable landing gear complete the aircraft's recognizable profile. MAINTENANCE & DOCUMENTATION Annual inspection due April 2027. Pitot-static/transponder inspection due February 2028. All Airworthiness Directives are reported complied with, and aircraft logbooks are reported current and complete. ELT battery replacement status requires confirmation. A WELL-EQUIPPED ARROW IV AT AN ATTRACTIVE ASKING PRICE For pilots looking to step into complex aircraft ownership or seeking an IFR-equipped, four-seat cross-country airplane, N281CA offers an appealing package. Its low reported engine time, Garmin avionics, S-TEC autopilot, factory air conditioning, and three-blade McCauley propeller make this Arrow IV worthy of serious consideration.
