About the PA-44-180

The PA-44-180 Seminole is a twin-engined, fixed-wing light aircraft manufactured by Piper Aircraft. Designed primarily for multi-engined flight training, it features a crew of one and a conventional layout powered by two air-cooled flat-four engines. Structurally, the aircraft incorporates a high T-tail and is visually similar to competing models in its class.

Background notes indicate that the type was developed from a single-engined predecessor and experienced several distinct production runs interspersed with pauses due to financial challenges. Early versions utilized counter-rotating engines to eliminate the critical engine phenomenon and improve controllability during an engine failure. Later variants introduced turbocharged engines and higher takeoff gross weights to enhance performance at high density altitudes.

{# the label links to these aircraft for sale, built in that span. On the label and not the count: the bands count every aircraft on the market (on_market) while the grid shows only those with a photo (live), so the count is not a promise of how many cards appear. A band cached before year_min existed renders as plain text rather than a link to an unfiltered list. #}
