About the PA-24-180

Piper PA-24-180 is a type-certificated, fixed-wing aircraft built in the United States. Functioning as a retractable-gear piston airplane, it suits private aviators, flight schools, and cross-country travel. The layout features a single piston engine and cabin seating for four occupants.

The aircraft design first took to the air in the mid-twentieth century, featuring a low-mounted laminar-flow wing, retractable landing gear, a swept tail, and an all-moving stabilator. Over its production run, various versions were introduced with different powerplants, increased fuel capacities, and auxiliary tanks. It remained in production for over a decade, resulting in thousands of airframes built.
