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. Mike MU-2 "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:kXPFb.633938$Fm2.569782@attbi_s04... 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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
