Sea Level Pressure Controller
With this option cabin pressurization starts at sea level. With the normal system pressurization is available until the pressure altitude of the cabin reaches 5000 feet.
Synchrophaser System
Provides Automatic Propellor Synchronization as well as phasing, removes the need to manually synchronize the propellors and ensures that the blades are out of phase with each other to minimize cabin noise.
Low Pressure Boost Pump System
Eliminates the unnecessary continuous high fuel pressure supplied by the standard auxiliary boost pumps, extending their service life.
Auxiliary Fuselage Fuel Tank
Baggage compartment auxiliary metal tank installation that provides an additional 42 gallons of usable fuel. The fuel is transferred to the main fuselage tank via a pilot controlled electric fuel pump. Easily field removable to provide additional cargo space.
Auxiliary Hydraulic System
In the event of right engine failure or failure of the primary, right engine driven hydraulic system pump, the electric Auxiliary Hydraulic pump will supply hydraulic system pressure allowing gear retraction and/or flap extension/retraction.
Auxiliary Electric Door Seal Pump
The Machen Auxiliary Electric Door Seal Pump consists of an electrically driven air pump and console mounted 2 position selector switch marked normal/electric. If the electric position is selected, an optional electric motor will inflate the door and emergency exit seal. This provides a back-up for the pumps as well as prolonging their service life.

Modifications: This aircraft was originally built by Piper Aircraft Corp as a Piper Aerostar model 601P with Serial #61P-05250221. It was registered in the U.S. with tail number N8044J. In October 1981 the aircraft was upgraded by Machen, Inc. in Spokane, WA to MACHEN SUPERSTAR II specifications with 310 TTSN hours on the airframe. This modification includes factory new 350 HP engines and low noise high thrust propellors as well as a host of other improvements listed. The increase in performance after the upgrade is substantial as shown in the charts that are included. The aircraft was imported to Canada and re-registered with Canandian tail number C-FDKK. The aircraft then returned to the U.S. in 1995 and was re-registered with tail number N21VB, to Van Bortel Aircraft, Inc.
