Description
F-HSME is a good-looking, beautifully-maintained PA-28 Cherokee Charger with great instrumentation/avionics, newly overhauled engine, long range fuel tanks, and leather seats.
The Charger is a powerful 235 HP aircraft with an excellent useful load of 1300 lbs. That is FOUR adults with 84 USG AND baggages! A real 4 seater,135 kt cruiser.
The aircraft was first registered in the USA as N55766 and shortly after the ferry flight to Europe became German registered as D-EECN. It was imported into the UK in 2004 as G-EWME. Then was transferred to France as F-HSME in 2023 due to Brexit. The transfer involved thorough inspections from both the UK and French aviation authorities a few months ago.
The engine has about 100 hours, was recently fully overhauled by PMM Wing Service in September 2022 with a 2-year warranty. The engine break-in was done professionally.
