Piper Navajo Aircraft in Colombia

The Piper Navajo (PA-31) is a cabin-class piston twin — a six- to eight-seat aircraft used heavily for charter, cargo and corporate work. The base Navajo (310/325 hp) cruises around 220 knots on twin turbocharged Lycoming TIO-540s; pressurised P-Navajo variants extend high-altitude capability. A practical and well-supported cabin twin for buyers needing range and seats without turbine cost.

Buying a Used Piper Navajo

Buying a Piper Navajo comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

Both turbocharged TIO-540 engines' time; turbo systems; pressurisation (P-Navajo); spar/gear; cabin configuration; high-utilisation history (cargo aircraft accumulate cycles fast). Which? Navajo C/CR for value; P-Navajo for pressurisation; Chieftain (separate page) for stretched 10-seat cabin.

Frequently Asked Questions — Piper Navajo

How much does a used Piper Navajo cost?
Pricing varies with variant, engine time and whether it is the pressurised P-Navajo. See the live price range and median above for current Navajo listings.
What is the Navajo used for?
Charter, light cargo and business travel. Its cabin-class layout, six-to-eight seats and turbocharged twin engines made it a regional-fleet workhorse.
What is the P-Navajo?
The Pressurised Navajo (P-Navajo) adds cabin pressurisation for higher, smoother cruising above weather, distinguishing it from the standard turbocharged Navajo and Navajo C/R.
How is the Navajo different from the Chieftain?
The Chieftain (PA-31-350) is a stretched, higher-gross Navajo with more seats and payload; the Navajo is the original, shorter cabin-class airframe.
