About the Piper PA-32

The Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six and its successor, the Saratoga, represent Piper's answer to the need for a true six-seat single-engine piston aircraft capable of hauling families, cargo, and light freight across respectable distances. First flown in 1963, the Cherokee Six stretched the fuselage of the popular PA-28 Cherokee to accommodate a third row of seats and a 300-horsepower Lycoming engine, creating one of the most spacious cabins in the single-engine piston class. The later Saratoga variants, introduced in the 1980s, refined the design with a semi-tapered wing and improved handling, while retaining the generous useful load and club-seating configuration that made the type a favorite among family pilots and small cargo operators.

With a maximum takeoff weight of 3,400 pounds and a never-exceed speed of 169 knots, the PA-32 offers a practical blend of payload capacity and cross-country performance, cruising comfortably in the 140-knot range with full fuel and passengers. The type remains a workhorse in general aviation, equally at home on weekend trips to the lake or supporting remote operations where payload flexibility matters more than speed. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
