Aircraft Model Overview (Reference only)

The Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee 140B is a classic member of the PA-28 Cherokee family, widely recognized as one of the most accessible and dependable training aircraft in general aviation. Introduced in the 1960s, the Cherokee 140 was designed to provide an affordable, easy-to-fly platform for student pilots and private owners. The 1969 “B” configuration reflects later refinements that improved usability and performance within the same reliable airframe. Powering the Cherokee 140B is the Lycoming O-320 engine, typically rated at 140 horsepower. This provides steady, predictable performance with cruise speeds around ~105–115 knots, making it ideal for training and short-to-medium cross-country flights. Some aircraft were later upgraded to higher horsepower configurations (e.g., 150 hp STCs), further enhancing performance. The Cherokee 140 features a low-wing design with simple, rugged construction and fixed tricycle landing gear, contributing to its durability and ease of maintenance. It typically seats two to four occupants, though earlier versions were often configured more comfortably for two. The aircraft’s straightforward systems and docile handling characteristics make it especially well-suited for primary flight training. Inside, the cabin is simple but functional, with good forward visibility and easy access through a single cabin door. Many 1969 models have since been modernized with updated avionics, including GPS units and digital instruments, extending their relevance in today’s training and personal flying environments. Within the general aviation community, the Cherokee 140 is often seen as a “true trainer workhorse”—forgiving, stable, and cost-effective to operate. It competes closely with aircraft like the Cessna 150​/​152 and early 172 models, offering a slightly different flying experience due to its low-wing configuration and control feel. The 1969 Piper Cherokee 140B remains a popular and practical aircraft today. Its combination of simplicity, reliability, and affordability continues to make it a go-to choice for student pilots and budget-conscious aircraft owners.
