Pre-Flight
I am potentially purchasing a Piper Turbo Arrow III (1977). It’s a nice airplane and it will fit my mission very well as far as useful load for now (Wife, kid and I).
My question is: I’ve seen Piper Arrows with air conditioning, which I am assuming is factory installed. So I emailed a couple of salvage yards in hopes on getting more information and possible pricing , but no answer.
Questions:
Is it possible to install a “factory” air conditioning system into a Piper Arrow Turbo?
Where do I find these Piper air conditioning units?
What would the price (ballpark) be on an installation like that?
On my research, I’ve found the “ice boxes” with fan, but I want something permanently installed on the airplane like the factory “Piper Air” or at least something like this:

Anyone has tried one of these?
