We are selling our Lance II due to my partner moving. A few highlights are the G5 attitude indicator, 530 waas, reliable Century III autopilot, Garmin audio panel, and a new EDM-900 engine monitor. It is a solid IFR platform as currently equipped. Only 3409 hrs on the airframe and 1369 SMOH.

Navigation equipment
Garmin 530W and a G5 HSI make this a solid IFR performer. The avionics arent the newest out but they work really well in this airplane.
Comms equipment
530w for com 1 and a garmin stand alone com for 2.
Engine management
This lance recently had a JPI EDM-900 engine monitor installed. This has been a game changer flying this airlplane. It is certified primary so we removed most of the original 1978 engine gauges. Also it has allowed us to run LOP and monitor each CHT. Flying LOP @ 8,000 ft 65% we see an average of 146 KTS TAS and 11.7-12.1 GPH!
Additional equipment
The Garmin 350 HC is garmins top of the line audio panel and it is a really nice addition to this panel. It has stereo comms and a push to talk command button. You can us the voice commands to switch mic, com and many other functions. It also has bluetooth and aux in.
The GTX345 ADSB in/out is also really nice. It can bluetooth to your ipad and also is integrated to the 530w.
The Alimatic ( century III) autopilot is original equipment, but has functioned really well for us. It is a 2-axis with electric pitch trim as well.
