About the PA-23 Apache

The Piper Aircraft PA-23 Apache is a fixed-wing aircraft from the United States. Designed as a twin-engine monoplane, it serves as a light transport and multi-engine trainer aircraft, providing an enclosed cabin layout for a pilot and passengers.

Development of the design began in the early nineteen-fifties, with the prototype achieving its first flight in the spring of that decade. Production yielded thousands of airframes before manufacturing concluded. The type established a strong presence in the general aviation sector as an accessible platform for transitioning pilots into twin-engine flying.

This page covers the Piper PA-23, PA-23 family, PA-23-150 Apache, PA-23-160 Apache: the same aircraft under other designations.
