Piper Seneca

Piper’s popular six-place twin has proved enduring because it’s affordable and flexible, equally adept at training and touring.

Piper’s venerable Seneca is what we think of as a "full-circle airplane." Would-be twin owners often consider it as their first choice, but then shop around for a Baron, or a Skymaster or maybe an Aztec. They then come full circle back to the Seneca for several good reasons, the leading one being that as twins go, the Seneca is eminently practical. It does nothing exceedingly well—it’s not fast, nor a joy to fly nor will it turn heads on the ramp—but it does a lot well enough.
