This basic trainer may not have fancy electronic instruments yet, but what it lacks in its panel, it makes up for in its flight characteristics. One of the first things you will notice is that it is surprisingly easy to start compared to most piston-engine aircraft. This is because it has impulse couplers on both its magnetos which means you can use all your spark plugs to get it started instead of just half of them. The Piper Cherokee has exceptional aerodynamic stall characteristics making it significantly less stressful to learn how to recover from these situations. The light and smooth controls help make this airplane a dream to fly.
