The Piper Seneca V |
 |
|
The Piper Seneca line was developed as a twin-engine version of
the Piper Cherokee Six. The PA-34-220T Seneca V was certified on December 11,
1996 and put into production in 1998.
The Seneca V is the latest in long legacy of twin-engine Piper
airplanes. It utilizes two turbo-charged, 220 HP Continental engines and can
haul about 1,400 pounds of passengers and cargo at over 175 KIAS and has a
useful range of 812 miles at 10,000 feet.
 |
The Seneca V can operate up to a ceiling
of 25,000 feet with both engines and is well suited for
travel across country. The cockpit features both a
standard avionics and "steam driven" cockpit, as well as
a glass gauge cockpit, all included in the package. |
