1982 Partenavia S.P.A. P.68C fixed-wing, multi-engine aircraft, registration N490NR. The aircraft is equipped with two Lycoming IO-360 series reciprocating engines rated at 200 horsepower. Total recorded airframe time is 12,257.7 hours.
This well-cared-for aircraft represents a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained machine with a documented and transparent service history. The most recent annual inspection was completed in July 2025, and the aircraft is currently out of annual.
Maintenance has been exclusively performed by a FAA-certified Part 145 repair station, ensuring all manufacturer-recommended and FAA-required inspections and service intervals have been completed and properly documented through the most recent annual. Digital logbooks are available for the airframe, engine, and propeller(s), providing full traceability of the aircraft's history.
The aircraft has been hangared its entire life, protecting it from the elements, and is washed and detailed on a regular basis. To maintain systems readiness and engine health, the aircraft is started and run up monthly — the most recent run-up was completed on August 18, 2026. Note: a new battery will be needed.
This aircraft served a meaningful mission, primarily conducting wildlife surveys and natural resource support operations throughout the state of Ohio. A use profile consistent with low-stress, purposeful flying.
Inspection dates: September 15, 17, 24, 7am-3pm. By appointment only!
