The Piper PA-28 Cherokee is a family of two and four seat light aircraft, built by Piper Aircraft and designed for training flights, transport and personal use. All aircraft in the PA-28 family are low profile and built of metal, with piston driven engines. Typical for these planes is the single door at the right side, where you step in and out over the wing.
The PA-28 is a direct competitor of the Cessna 172 and has more or less similar flying characteristics.
The first PA-28 was certified in 1960 by the Federal Aviation Administration and is still in production.
