Model & Market Context

This entry documents airframe N1202C, a Piper PA-22-135 Tri-Pacer built in 1953 with manufacturer's serial number 22-1010. The aircraft carries a United States registration and is recorded as US on applicable registries; ownership details not published. There is no publicly listed operator/home base or valuation in the supplied data, and no notable registry actions beyond its basic registration and build identity are provided.

The airframe is configured as a four-place cabin accommodating a pilot plus three passengers in an unpressurized environment, described as a 4-place (pilot + 3 passengers), unpressurized cabin. Avionics fit and specific equipment lists are not published for this individual aircraft, so details on radio, navigation or transponder capabilities are not available. Typical mission profiles implied by the published performance data emphasize short to medium cross-country trips within a roughly 470 nm range at cruise speeds near 107 kts, operating to a maximum service ceiling of 15,000 ft. No operator base, unique cabin amenities, or maintenance history particulars are provided for this serial-numbered airframe.

As a fixed-wing single-engine aircraft, the Piper PA-22-135 Tri-Pacer represented in this airframe is characterized here by a single Lycoming O-290-D2 powerplant and a modest cruise of 107 kts, with seating for 4 and an unpressurized cabin. These supplied attributes define its operational niche as a small personal or utility airplane suitable for general aviation missions within a 470 nm radius and up to 15,000 ft. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe would hinge on the age (built 1953) and the condition of period systems and the listed engine type, though no specific maintenance records or valuation are included in the available data.
