In September 1972 Piper unveiled the PA-31-350 Navajo Chieftain, a stretched version of the Navajo B with more powerful engines and counter-rotating propellers to prevent critical engine handling problems.
The fuselage was lengthened by 2 ft 0 in (0.61 m), allowing for up to ten seats in total. Variants of the Lycoming TIO-540 developing 350 hp (261 kW) were fitted to the Chieftain, with an opposite-rotation LTIO-540 installed on the right-hand wing; MTOW was increased to 7,000 lbs (3,175 kg). With Vortex generator installed it as the capability for a MTOW of 7368 lbs.
This Airplane is great for up to 1-4 hour non-stop flights. This Airplane is unpressurized allowing us to fly low enough for sightseen along to your destination, unlike jets. Skip the TSA lines from point-to-point. This Chieftain is air-conditioned and also equipped with weather radar and ADSB ready for FAA mandate year 2020.
