I didn't think to ask then that but I would guess because it gives the rear
passengers even more chances to escape.

Actually, I asked the Piper representative this very question the last
time I attended their factory open house. The reason is that during
emergency
egress, the pilot should be the last one out. (Captain of the ship.)


Then why did they put a rear door on the PA-32?
