Aircraft Model Overview (Reference only)

The 1972 Piper Cherokee PA-28-235, commonly known as the Cherokee 235 or later branded as the Charger​/​Pathfinder, is a high-powered variant of Piper’s popular PA-28 Cherokee family. Introduced in the mid-1960s, the PA-28-235 was designed to deliver significantly more performance and useful load than the standard Cherokee models, making it well suited for serious cross-country travel, utility operations, and owners who needed greater carrying capability without moving to a complex or multi-engine aircraft. Powered by the Lycoming O-540 engine producing 235 horsepower, the PA-28-235 offers strong takeoff and climb performance, particularly beneficial when operating from shorter runways or at higher density altitudes. The aircraft’s robust airframe and generous wing area allow it to carry heavy loads comfortably, earning it a reputation as one of the most capable fixed-gear, single-engine aircraft in its class. Unlike retractable-gear or turbocharged alternatives, the Cherokee 235 maintains relatively straightforward systems, contributing to ease of ownership and maintenance. The cabin of the PA-28-235 seats four occupants and emphasizes practicality and comfort. Large doors, a wide cabin, and good visibility make passenger loading and long flights more enjoyable. Avionics configurations varied by aircraft, with many examples equipped for full IFR operations, allowing the PA-28-235 to serve as a dependable all-weather cross-country platform. Within the general aviation community, the Cherokee 235 has earned a reputation as a “hauler” among single-engine aircraft. It has been widely used for personal transportation, aerial survey, utility flying, and flight training at advanced levels. Pilots value its stability, payload capability, and predictable handling, even when operating near maximum gross weight. The 1972 Piper Cherokee PA-28-235 remains a respected and capable aircraft decades after its introduction. Its combination of power, simplicity, and load-carrying ability has secured its place as one of the most versatile members of the Cherokee family and a reliable option for pilots seeking performance without unnecessary complexity.
