Beechcraft 76 Duchess EI-EWC

EI-EWC is a 1979 model year airframe with 17,157hrs TTAF, and some really good component times remaining. It would be an ideal private aircraft for a UK buyer, as it is not in school colours and can be sold with an export C of A. The registration markings are simple decals making a registration change easy for the new owner. There is nothing like it for the asking price. The aircraft was previously G-BZPJ until 2011 when it came to NFC.

The 180hp Lycoming engines have 1,853hrs SMOH in May 2011 on the port side and 976hrs SMOH in May 2019 on the starboard side. Both propellers have 152hrs SPOH in Sept 2022 and recently overhauled prop governors. The magnetos have been overhauled on both engines in June 2023, recent vacuum pumps in April 2023 and the Heater has been changed to a Hartzell heater with over 1500hrs remaining on that. We offer EWC for sale with an ODMP 100hr Annual Inspection and ARC. 100hr A-Frame NDT inspections will be complied with on the beefed-up A-Frames in the landing gear. Yes - there is a 20,000hr life on the wing and carry thru spar giving over 2,842hrs remaining on the airframe, which has a 20,000hr wing/carry through spar life limit. We will supply an additional airframe with additional potential time remaining to the purchaser.

The aircraft has King KMA 24 audio panel, Garmin GNS-430 GPS/Com/Nav, King KCS-55 HSI, King KX155 Nav/Com 2, King KR 87 ADF w/RMI, Trig TT31, Kind KDI-572 DME, Century III Autopilot (inop), Electric Trim, NAT intervox I/C, Dual EGT. This Duchess was used for IFR training, and great emphasis was placed on having a solid instrument platform. There is a niche for someone with an aeroplane like this to do MEP Class Ratings, Revalidations and Renewals. This could be helped with the Frasca procedures trainer we have to sell, and the extensive spare parts that are coming with the aircraft.

The interior has been improved with grey vinyl seats, it was not expected to be pristine but function day in, day out. The aircraft has a tow bar and an outdoor cover. One of the highlights of this aircraft is the great maintenance history, where no expense was spared in making it compliant with all the recommended service instructions from Beech and the OEM equipment suppliers. Any aircraft we have ever sold that were maintained by NFC had outstanding paperwork. Any inspection welcome on this well-priced aircraft.
