The PA-44 Seminole is a light twin-engine aircraft from the American manufacturer Piper Aircraft. The first flight of this model took place in 1976, and three years later, mass production began, which continues to this day. The plane appeared as a training aircraft resulting from the single-engine Piper PA-28 Cherokee development. A Piper Seminole charter suits short hops such as Fort Lauderdale–Key West, Miami–Naples or Tampa–Orlando.
Charter a Piper Seminole private jet:
The Piper Seminole is a twin-engine monoplane with a standard aerodynamic configuration, retractable landing gear, and low wing configuration. A feature of its design is that it uses engines of opposite rotation. Later modifications had Lycoming O-360-A1H6 engines as a power plant. The PA-44-180T Turbo Seminole modification was equipped with Lycoming TO-360-E1A6D engines, significantly improving the aircraft’s flight characteristics.
The cabin of the Piper Seminole is simply equipped, with a choice of leather or cloth seats and the Garmin G1000 flight deck on current production aircraft.
On charter the Seminole is a four-seat piston twin — one to three passengers with light luggage on sectors under about 300 nautical miles — chosen over a single-engine Archer when the route crosses water, such as Fort Lauderdale to Bimini or Freeport. It is unpressurized and cruises around 160 knots, so for more people or a longer leg a Piper Navajo or King Air C90 is the usual quote.
