Piper 6x Aircraft

The Piper 6x Is Back. It's Big, Beautiful, And Wonderful To Own And Fly.


The good news for fans of Piper Aircraft Company is , the Piper 6x is back and flying great. The basic model, the PA-32, has always been a popular model overseas, especially in Africa, Australia, and South America. The fact is that many runways are not paved over there and this is the perfect aircraft for those situations.

The Piper 6x is a wonderful 300 horsepower plane that is fun to handle and fly. It has a stretched version of the Warrior wing and is a popular plane with professional and recreational pilots. The Piper 6x can carry a big load at good speeds. The best thing about a Piper 6x is doesn't care where it lands. It likes hard and soft fields, long or short runways. At sea level, the Piper 6x can operate from 2,100-foot strips with room to spare. It can take on a load of about 1,400 pounds. A full fuel load is 102 gallons.

With six seats the Piper 6x is uncommon as compared to other aircraft. There is plenty of room for baggage as well. The service ceiling is listed at 17,200 feet. The Piper 6x is very stable in the air and is heavy enough to fly through clouds and turbulence with a minimum of discomfort to pilot and passengers. You can expect speeds at around 145 knots but 140 knots will be better for fuel consumption.

Any pilot will look good in a Piper 6x and the Piper 6x will make any pilot look good as well. The plane stacks up to its competition. It generally has a little more speed, climbs a little quicker, has a higher service ceiling, and offers more fuel for greater range and flexibility with payloads.

The base price of the new Piper 6x is $365,500. That will buy you a reasonably equipped airplane, IFR-capable with an all-Garmin stack-GPS430, SL30 VHF navcom, GTX327 transponder and a GMA 340 audio panel. There are also some great packages that you can add on to your new Piper 6x plane. If you go to the "top of the line" you are looking at $500,000. But how else are you going to take five friends and cruise at 140 knots in style to anywhere you would like to go.

It you want that ticket to a successful trip on a wonderful ride in the sky, the Piper 6x is the plane for you. You will be happy every minute in the air and you will have a wonderful "show piece" machine.
