The 2014 Piper Archer TX Single Engine Trainer
The Piper Archer TX takes the venerable Cherokee fuselage and perfects it into one of the most recognized single-engine trainer aircraft available today. With a 180 hp Lycoming engine and an advanced avionics suite, the Archer TX is an elegant and reliable aircraft that offers a fuel burn of about 9 gph at 65% power, which is comparable to its 160 hp sibling, the Piper Warrior. It makes the perfect plane for both learning to fly, and continuing a flight student’s journey as an enjoyable cross-country aircraft.
