About the Piper Pilot 100i
The Piper Pilot 100i (built on the PA-28-161 airframe) is Piper's modern, low-cost trainer, launched in 2019 to bring the proven Cherokee structure to a new generation of flight schools. It pairs the durable tapered-wing PA-28 airframe and a 180-hp Lycoming engine with a Garmin G3X Touch glass cockpit, a Garmin G5 and a GFC 500 autopilot for IFR training. Configured with two pilot seats and an observer seat, it cruises around 128 knots and was priced to undercut other new trainers.

Buying a Used Piper Pilot 100i
When buying a Piper Pilot 100i, the biggest value drivers are engine time since overhaul, maintenance-record completeness, damage history and avionics.
What to check before buying

- 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.
