Overview
The PA-28 Cherokee is a family of four-seat, low-wing light aircraft used for training, touring and private flying. Over 32,000 have been built in versions such as the Warrior, Archer and Arrow, and the Archer is still in production.
With its wing below the cabin it is the main rival to the high-wing Cessna 172 at flying schools. Figures here are for the PA-28-161 Warrior II.
