This might rightly be called a ‘Goldilocks’ aeroplane - not too big and not too small, not too complex and not too simple. The Piper Cherokee 180 is, as the little flaxen-haired girl so famously declared, “Just right!”
The entire PA-28 Cherokee line, from the two-seat 150hp PA-28-140 to the powerful, heavy-load-carrying 235hp PA-28-235 Dakota, is one of the most popular, commercially successful and pilot-friendly series of aircraft ever built. Each member of the Cherokee family fills its particular niche at least as well as, and often better than, other aircraft of a similar type.
The Cherokee 180, sitting as it does right in the middle of the pack, has proven itself to be the most popular, and justifiably so. Introduced to the public in 1961, the first Cherokee, the 150hp PA-28-150, was immediately well received and set the pace for its later siblings who went on to provide pilots of all levels of experience with dependable and well-performing aircraft which are fun and satisfying to fly, and reliable, safe and economical to own and operate.
This package is complete with the A2A Accu-Sim Expansion Pack, providing an extremely high level of complexity and authenticity in the aircraft operations - see the Extended Description section below for full details.
