With these Aspen issues, does anyone know if integration between the TruTrak Vizion and Garmin G5 is likely to happen? And if so, on what kind of timeline?

What kind of pricing declines are you seeing with Arrows? Unfortunately I wasn’t tracking the market closely a year ago when the CPL requirement changed. Do you think that’s what’s driving it? Or concern about the wing spar AD?

I’ve heard from a few people that $4k a year is a reasonable guess for average annual maintenance ($2k fixed-fee inspection plus another $2k-ish of squawks). Does that sound reasonable to people, or is it overly optimistic?

Yes, I’m also curious about that bargain, haha. VWGhiaBob, is it an Arrow that your friend is selling? Is it posted on Controller/TAP/etc? Or if you prefer, can you PM me the details? Do people have experience tying down Arrows on grass, would there be issues with that? Also, has anyone...

Jesse, that’s great news on the 182 front. Not sure if you saw my question before, but do you have a sense of when the TruTrak approval will be finalized for the Mooneys?

Also, I know you can use the new Aspen E5 to set the heading/altitude for the TruTrak. Can you do the same with the older Aspen Evolution 1000?

Jesse, any guess when the TruTrak approval will be finalized for Mooneys? Are they doing all models at once, or something like just Js to start with?

Thanks for all the thoughts guys, I will keep you posted on my search.

Warlock and GRG55, thanks for the additional details. Did you find that the planes required much work in between annuals? And with those issues, were they able to be handled same-day or did you have to leave them in the shop and catch a ferry ride back to your airport? Also, does anyone have...

Thanks for all the responses so far. I know it’s the most cliches question in the book, it if anyone would be willing to share their experience with typical annual maintenance expenses (either publicly or via PM), I’d really appreciate it.

Unit74, any guess when that will be? Hindsight, I’d love to take you up on that, I’ll PM you. Also, does anyone have experience with the earliest ones (short body). Can you fit adults in the back seat or basically just kids? Is the 180 HP almost the same cruise but worse climb?

Yeah I totally understand. I know posting without searching first is a common occurrence on a bunch of forums I follow. I should’ve clarified that I’m particularly curious to pick peoples brains about the plane via PM or email, since I know sometimes people don’t like mentioning certain...

Yes, I’ve read many of the threads on Arrows on the forum already. I’m wondering if there are any current owners I could PM to hear more about their experiences.

Hi everyone, I’ve been lurking for a while, making my first post. I’m considering purchasing a Piper Arrow and would love to hear from some current owners about their experiences. I already have lots of hours in the plane when I was a member of a flying club so I know I like the plane. Just...
