Piper Aztec handling qualities
Can someone summarise Piper Aztec handling qualities for me.
Interested in single engine climb performance in under all conditions/aircraft weights - especially Max AUW and hot n high. Also interested in the difference between models and capabilities, configurations (Fuel, AUW etc) Cheers John |

Heavily loaded at intermediate altitudes (12-15,000'), cruising for hours on a single engine is not at all stressful (with a turbo- normalizer). Also interested in the difference between models and capabilities, configurations (Fuel, AUW etc) Get a Trade-a-Plane subscription. Their database has the specs for various Aztec models. I suspect DiamondAire upgrades can make up for performance differences between models. One difference you might not find listed elsewhere is that the *older* models are coated with zinc chromate. Later models are not. I'd also like to know if/when (retractable) shoulder belts were introduced. I wish I had them on mine. --kyler |
