About the Piper Chieftain
The Piper Chieftain (PA-31-350) is the stretched, higher-capacity development of the Navajo — a ten-seat cabin-class piston twin built as a commuter and cargo workhorse. With a longer fuselage, more powerful counter-rotating turbocharged engines and strong useful load, it served scheduled commuter and freight operators for decades and still earns its keep in utility roles today.

Buying a Used Piper Chieftain
When buying a Piper Chieftain, 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.
