About the Piper Turbo Dakota

The Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee is a four-seat, single-engine trainer that became one of general aviation's most successful designs after its introduction in 1964. Built as an economical alternative to the higher-performance Cherokee 180, the 140 variant features a 150-horsepower Lycoming O-320 engine and a simplified panel that made it ideal for flight schools and private owners seeking affordable fixed-gear reliability. Piper produced the Cherokee 140 through 1977, with more than 10,000 PA-28 family airframes delivered across all variants, cementing the type's reputation as a docile, forgiving trainer that could also serve as a capable cross-country tourer for small families.

The Cherokee's low-wing configuration, all-metal construction, and wide cabin offered a different flying experience than the high-wing Cessna 172, and many pilots earned their private certificates in the 140's roomy cockpit. With a cruise speed around 108 knots and a range of roughly 400 nautical miles, the PA-28-140 remains a common sight at airports across North America, prized for its straightforward systems, reasonable operating costs, and gentle stall characteristics. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
