About the Piper Lance

The Piper Lance (PA-32R) is the retractable-gear six-seater in the PA-32 family — a 300 hp Lycoming IO-540 single that trades the Cherokee Six's fixed gear for extra cruise speed while keeping the same roomy, club-seating cabin. Early Lances carry a conventional tail; the Lance II adopted the distinctive T-tail, and a turbocharged Turbo Lance II added high-altitude performance for serious cross-country and family hauling.
