G-TAPS is a 1981 Piper PA-28RT-201T Turbo Arrow IV, offering a rare opportunity to acquire the turbocharged flagship of the classic Arrow range.  

With approximately 4,100 hours total airframe time, G-TAPS is powered by a 200 hp Continental TSIO-360-FB with approximately 1,100 hours since overhaul in 2007. The three-blade Hartzell constant-speed propeller has around 350 hours since overhaul in 2020. The aircraft remains in active service, so hours may increase slightly.  

Combining turbocharged performance with retractable landing gear and a constant-speed propeller, the Turbo Arrow IV is a capable four-seat touring aircraft particularly well suited to serious UK and European cross-country flying. G-TAPS offers an approximate 145-knot true cruise, with the turbocharged engine allowing strong performance to be maintained at higher altitudes. Fuel capacity is 77 US gallons (291 litres), with published consumption of approximately 44 litres per hour at 75% power or 31 litres per hour at 55%.  

Presented with a grey leather interior and white-and-blue exterior with silver trim, the aircraft is rated 8/10 internally and 9/10 externally. All applicable ADs are reported as complied with, and both the Annual and ARC are current until 1 October 2026, with new inspections to be completed on sale.  

Priced at £130,000, this Piper PA-28RT-201T Turbo Arrow IV for sale in the UK represents an attractive opportunity for pilots seeking a fast, IFR-capable, complex touring aircraft with genuine high-altitude and long-distance capability.
