Meet the Piper Dakota

Sat Mar 30 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

The Piper Dakota is the latest addition to the Flight Center fleet. It is a four-seat, fixed gear low wing plane powered by a Lycoming O-540 engine. How does this airplane compare to other airplanes in the Flight Center fleet? What missions would be ideal for the Dakota?. What is involved in upgrading your ride from the Piper Archer to the Dakota?

San Carlos Flight Center is pleased to introduce the Piper Dakota in this seminar. Join Chief Pilot Herb Patten as he provides an overview of the key differences present in this aircraft compared to others of its class. He’ll explain the various mission profiles the aircraft is capable of, and the associated training and requirements for SCFC pilots.
