The Piper Saratoga |
 |
|
The Piper Saratoga II TC is a single-engine high performance
six-seater and one of the most popular GA aircraft in the world. The Saratoga is
a descendant of the Cherokee Six, improved for better cross-country capability.
It can carry 1,100 pounds of people and cargo at a 187 Kts cruise speed from New
York to St. Louis without stopping for fuel. This makes it ideal for business
travel, leisure flying, or light cargo operations.
 |
This is one of the most luxurious singles
on the market, and along with a roomy interior, this can
be considered one of the premium general aviation
aircraft in use today.
The II TC is the turbocharged version
of the Saratoga, which provides for a higher service
ceiling, faster climb to that ceiling, and greater
speed. |
