About the Piper 32T Turbo Lance 2

The Piper PA-32R-301T Saratoga SP is a high-performance single-engine piston aircraft that combines the cabin space of a light twin with the operating economics of a single. Introduced in 1995 as the turbocharged variant of Piper's popular Saratoga line, the Turbo Saratoga SP features a 300-horsepower Lycoming TIO-540 engine and retractable landing gear, making it one of the most capable six-seat piston singles in general aviation. The turbocharger allows the aircraft to maintain sea-level power up to higher altitudes, giving it a service ceiling around 20,000 feet and cruise speeds of 170-180 knots, performance that rivals many light twins while burning significantly less fuel.

The PA-32 family traces its lineage back to the Cherokee Six of the 1960s, but the Saratoga SP represents the refined culmination of decades of evolution. The "SP" designation stands for "Single Pilot," reflecting Piper's focus on making this complex aircraft manageable for owner-pilots. With a useful load exceeding 1,200 pounds in most configurations, the Turbo Saratoga can carry six adults with baggage or fly long cross-country legs with full fuel. The spacious cabin features club seating and double doors on the right side, making passenger loading easier than most singles. This combination of speed, range, payload, and comfort has made it a favorite among business owners, family travelers, and air taxi operators who need the capability of a twin without the complexity and cost.
