Piper PA-44 Seminole

The Piper PA-44 Seminole is a light civil utility airplane manufactured by Piper Aircraft.

Summary

“	The Piper PA-44 Seminole is a low-wing, twin-engine light aircraft renowned throughout the aviation world as exceptionally forgiving and easy to fly, making it a favorite among flight schools and popular with general aviation pilots. Piper developed the PA-44 based off the general design features of the single-engine PA-28R Arrow, seeking to debut a light four-place twin as a less-expensive alternative to their PA-39 Twin Comanche and PA-40 Arapaho. They added dual motors, a new T-tail empennage, and semi-tapered wings to the Arrow's form to create one of aviation's true standouts. The powerplants, Lycoming flat-four piston engines, impart the Seminole with speed, performance, and range. The counter-rotating configuration of the two-blade, full-feathering propellers make the PA-44 easy to control during an engine failure, a key performance attribute of the Seminole that flight trainings covet for emergency drills for students. The Piper PA-44 provides aviators with a flight experience packed with performance backed by resiliency and composure. Its design, power, and advanced avionics impart speed and nimbleness, yet provide a cushion of positive control during the most harrowing of moments at the edge of flight. The Seminole is equally suited for a casual trip from one city to another, an energetic jaunt above the clouds, or as a training launch point replete with a full spectrum of critical scenarios practiced to someday command one of the largest multi-engine behemoths in modern aviation.	”
