Piper debuts Pilot 100i trainer at Sun n’ Fun
16th April 2021 10:30 Europe/London
Piper has shown off its new trainer aircraft, the Piper Pilot 100i, for the first time at this week’s Sun n’ Fun event in Florida.
The company calls the 100i ‘the value priced addition to Piper’s trainer-class line-up’ with a price tag under $300,000. However, the 100i is far from being a bare bones aircraft with a Garmin G3X glass cockpit, digital autopilot, IFR fit, 180hp Lycoming engine and vinyl seats.
Announced two years ago, the 100i received type certification from the FAA in December 2020 and deliveries started immediately with eight aircraft to launch customer American Flyers.
