(June 2011) There are good reasons that the Piper Archer is an airplane commonly found in flight school fleets.
Its stable flight characteristics and simple design make it an excellent trainer. And with enough speed to get you where you want to go, but not too much to get you in trouble, as well as the navigation capabilities and creature comforts that pilots expect today, the Piper Archer’s design has also become a popular choice for pilots looking for an entry-level airplane. Piper has just rolled out a program that makes it easier for its customers to combine flight training and airplane ownership.
