Company Overview
Since 1937, Piper Aircraft has fostered a legacy of general aviation excellence by creating the Freedom of Flight. First with the iconic Piper Cub, later with the introduction of the PA-28 Cherokee in the early 1960s, and now with the Pilot 100i, Archer TX, and Seminole, flight schools of all sizes continue to turn to Piper for a fleet management experience like no other. With a worldwide network of service centers, world-class customer support, industry-leading operating costs, and exclusive access to marketing resources and support, customers in Piper’s Flight School Alliance value the competitive advantage operating a Piper fleet provides. Renowned aviation programs such as the University of North Dakota, Blue Line Aviation, Middle Georgia State University, AeroGuard Flight Training Center, and Skyborne Airline Academy, to name a few, all operate a fleet of state-of-the-art Piper trainers, from Pilot 100i, to Archer TX, to Seminole.
Pilot 100i
Simplicity and value define the Pilot 100i. The tried-and-true PA-28 airframe and reliable Lycoming engine meet state-of-the-art Garmin G3X-Touch avionics for a trustworthy training aircraft used to train all levels and all certificates. Make your financial targets with no compromises in capability, quality, safety or reliability–uniquely with the Pilot 100i.
Archer TX
The perfect combination of durability, reliability, comfort and technology–the Archer® TX is the ideal training platform. Students and instructors alike will welcome the one-of-a-kind 180 HP Archer® TX with the Garmin G1000 NXi cockpit, and flight school owners will be delighted with the operating costs of this iconic trainer.
Seminole
One of the most recognizable multi-engine trainers across the globe, the Seminole exceeds expectations with its reliability, durability and value. Generations of pilots have trained in the Seminole, but this Seminole is generations ahead with its tried-and-true construction, reliable Lycoming engines, stable handling capabilities, and standard Garmin G1000® NXi flight deck. Training on a Seminole eases students in the transition from single to multi-engine flying. When it comes to multi-engine trainers, the Seminole stands in a class all its own.
