How expensive would it have been to get a second door certified? I wonder
why nobody has developed a second door STC if it is so desirable and easy to
do. The whole success of the Cherokee line was based on commonality of
parts and low cost.

I would not be willing to pay 25 Lb in our clubs Archer for a second
door. I find 3 adult men and normal luggage puts me at full GW.

True. But with the 1460 pound useful load of our Pathfinder (Cherokee
235)
they could easily have sacrificed 25 pounds of structural reinforcement in
exchange for the added convenience and safety.

I still believe that Piper's decision to forego the pilot-side door in the
235/236 line has proven to be a many multi-million dollar mistake for
Piper
over the years.
