About the Piper Lance
The Piper Lance (PA-32R) is the retractable-gear PA-32 — a 300 hp Lycoming IO-540 six-seat single produced 1976-1979, with a T-tail on the Lance II. It cruises in the high 150s of knots and trades the Cherokee Six's fixed-gear simplicity for ~15 kt more speed. The Saratoga SP succeeded it with a conventional tail and refined systems.
