About the PA-32-301XTC
The New Piper Aircraft PA-32-301XTC is a single-engine, fixed-gear light aircraft built in the United States, designed to accommodate six occupants. It suits roles such as private travel, air taxi operations, medical evacuations, and bush support. Its configuration includes a nose baggage area located between the cockpit and engine space, alongside a large double door at the rear to facilitate effortless loading for both passengers and freight.
Crafted to provide greater capacity than a previous four-seat model, the series saw its initial prototype take flight in December 1963, followed by official certification in early 1965. Throughout its manufacturing lifespan, the type has established a widespread global presence across various utility and transport sectors.
