Description
The Piper Cherokee 6 (PA-32) is the legendary "minivan with wings" a title it wears with pride. If you need to move six people, a week’s worth of gear, and maybe a small refrigerator without breaking a sweat, this is your airplane. 3925 Hrs TTAF 488 Hrs SFRM LYCOMING IO-540 71 Hrs SPOH HARTZELL HC-C2YK-1BF Garmin GNC355 Garmin 430w Garmin GTX330 EDM 800 Engine Monitor 1,431 lb useful load New Battery 2017 Dual USB ports Both Magnetos Overhauled June 2026 Annual Completed June 2026. Why choose a Cherokee 6? Because "useful load" isn't just a spec, it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re hauling the whole family to the islands or flying a heavy cargo mission, the PA-32 is famous for its massive 4-foot wide cabin and the iconic rear double doors that make loading effortless. It’s stable, forgiving, and feels like a much larger aircraft in the air. Minor damage to baggage door from blowing open **happened while on the ground, new baggage door installed.
