Piper Seminole Information
The Piper Seminole is a versatile training multiengine airplane with room for four, and can cruise at more than 145 knots. The right-hand engine is a Lycoming LO-360-B1G6 variant, which turns in the opposite direction to the left-hand engine. This feature eliminates the "critical engine" and makes the aircraft more controllable in the event that an engine needs to be shut down or fails. The real value of the Seminole in training is its state-of-the-art technology that prepares students for the challenges of flying bigger and more complex aircraft. The Piper Seminole has proven itself day after day to prepare students for the commercial and flight instructor certificates.
