If you aren"t in ATC radar range traffic is not being reported to you. This system pings nearby transponder equipped aircraft and reports their relative distance, altitude and altitude changes without input from ATC. This system displays on it"s own proprietary display as well as the MX-20. If you are not in ATC coverage this system still provides traffic information that is accurate and reliable.

New brakes and rotors. New exhaust shroud and muffler. Fine wire plugs. This aircraft is rock solid and dependable. It can be flown anywhere and is a great IFR platform. I fly this aircraft to work most every day. It has not sat and deteriorated. I am selling because I have purchased another aircraft. I have never seen another Comanche as equipped as this one. I built this airplane to keep. Over $100,000 was spent in in avionics and panel upgrade. Many Comanches are available in the $80k range but they are not equipped and don"t look like this one. This is a truly rare bird. Don"t miss a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a great aircraft.
