Piper PA28 Cherokee Aeroplane

Information about the Piper PA28 Cherokee Aeroplane

The Piper PA28 Cherokee Aeroplane is a staple of the flying world and is in regular use in airfields across the country who offer Flying Lessons. Initially designed as a flight training aircraft back in the early 1970s, it had its first flight in 1973 and has been helping people learn how to fly ever since.

Built by Piper Aircraft who have dominated the light aircraft market for many years, the Cherokee models were adapted to include turbo charge engines, retractable landing gear and constant speed propellers, making them a smidge more powerful than any of the predecessors. But luckily, these were also designed as a less expensive aircraft which is reflected in the affordability of flying lessons.

Although mainly used for training, PA28 Cherokee’s are used by various countries across the world such as Angola, Argentina, Chile and Qatar for military purposes including with the coast guards and national air forces. Other popular models produced by Piper also include the Piper Warrior, Piper Arrow and Piper Archer TX.

With 37,778 built across the world and counting, it’s safe to say the Piper PA28 Cherokee Aeroplane is here to stay and to be enjoyed for people learning to fly, or for pleasure flights across the country.
