About the Piper Cherokee 180

The Piper Cherokee 180 (PA-28-180) is the 180-hp version of the original constant-chord Cherokee and one of the most beloved four-seat singles ever made. Its 180-hp Lycoming O-360 turns the Cherokee into a genuine four-place tourer, cruising around 120-125 knots with a solid useful load and the simple, forgiving handling the line is famous for. The 180 is effectively the predecessor of the tapered-wing Archer and is widely sought as an affordable family and cross-country aircraft.

Buying a Used Piper Cherokee 180

When buying a Piper Cherokee 180, the biggest value drivers are engine time since overhaul, maintenance-record completeness, damage history and avionics.

What to check before buying

  • Engine time to overhaul — hours and years remaining drive price more than total airframe time.
  • Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records protect value.
  • Damage history — any prior accident or incident; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
  • Avionics — a modern glass panel vs legacy steam gauges materially changes price.
  • Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions — Piper Cherokee 180

How many people can a Cherokee 180 carry?
With its 180-hp engine the Cherokee 180 is a true four-seater, able to carry four adults with useful fuel and some baggage — a real step up from the 140 and 160.
What is the cruise speed of a Cherokee 180?
Around 120-125 knots, burning roughly 9-10 gallons per hour on the Lycoming O-360.
What is the difference between a Cherokee 180 and an Archer?
Both use a 180-hp O-360. The Cherokee 180 has the older constant-chord 'Hershey bar' wing; the Archer (PA-28-181) has the later tapered wing with slightly better handling and a longer cabin. Prices and parts support overlap heavily.
Does the Cherokee 180 have the wing-spar AD?
Yes. The PA-28-180 is listed in both the corrosion AD (2020-24-05) and the fatigue-crack wing-spar AD (2020-26-16). Verify spar-AD compliance before buying, especially on ex-trainer airframes.
