Piper Cherokee Six PA-32

The Piper Cherokee Six PA-32 is a single-engine, six-to-seven-seat piston aircraft that serves the Dallas short-haul market for groups that value cabin capacity over speed. For families or small groups making 100-to-200-nautical-mile Texas trips from DFW, it is one of the few piston options that seats six or seven without moving to a twin-engine aircraft.

Piper built the Cherokee Six PA-32 as a stretched Cherokee with a Lycoming IO-540 engine and a large, flat-floor cabin. Six to seven seats, 730 nautical miles of range, and a cruise around 145 knots. It is a single-engine unpressurized aircraft, and its range of 730 nautical miles makes it a regional aircraft rather than a long-distance tool. Full specifications for the Piper Cherokee Six PA-32 are published by Piper Aircraft.

Why the Piper Cherokee Six PA-32 Fits Dallas

Six or seven seats in a piston single at a rate below any twin-engine aircraft is the Cherokee Six’s argument in the Dallas market. For a family group or small team making a 100-to-200-nautical-mile Texas hop from Dallas to Wichita Falls (SPS), Abilene (ABI), or a similar short sector, the cabin volume is a meaningful advantage over a smaller four-seat piston.

Smaller Dallas-area airports suit this aircraft well. Grand Prairie Municipal Airport (KGPM) in Grand Prairie, TX, which sits between Dallas and Fort Worth, handles the Cherokee Six with its shorter runway, and clients in the mid-cities area sometimes find it a more convenient departure point than Addison Airport (KADS) for a light piston trip.

Single-engine piston charter is best suited to clear-weather VFR conditions or straightforward IFR sectors with an experienced instrument-rated pilot. On a spring afternoon in North Texas when convective weather is building, clients should understand that a single-engine aircraft has fewer options than a twin. We make that clear at quote stage rather than at the gate.

Vetting Behind Every Trip

Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:

  • FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
  • Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
  • Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
  • Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
