Piper Aircraft – Past, Present and Future in Aviation
Piper Airplane was established in originally by Taylors Brothers Plane in 1927. Since of the death of one of the brothers and then ultimate bankruptcy, the investments were gotten by William Piper and ultimately the business was renamed in 1937. The business was named Piper Airplane Corporation after moving to Pennsylvania. In 1955 Piper moved his operation to Vero Beach Municipal Airport to have a much larger area for manufacturing. The provider started manufacture of the J-3 Cub, which was intended for flight training. It became one of the most prominent light plane ever before manufactured and has most budget friendly. Piper came up with this type aircraft to encourage an aviation passion in others. Today, bush pilots and the leisure aviators continue to utilize the up-graded version of the Cub. The L-4 edition was utilized primarily by the UNITED STATE military throughout WWII and Korean War.
During the years to come, Piper Airplane developed and manufactured other types of airplane, one of the aircraft being the Cherokee. This was the first aircraft that Piper was permitted to produce in Florida. In 1974, The Piper Warrior took flight as an improved variation of the Cherokee. With its glass cockpit, semi tapered wing and stretched body, flight training took on new meaning. It makes a excellent aircraft for sale.
Today, Piper is still considered the most versatile airplane line. Through the end of 2009, Piper has actually produced over one hundred forty thousand airplane and today ninety thousand are still in active flying service. After 40 years, Piper Aircraft still supplies the same quality, craftsmanship, and excitement that it did when they initially began.

What is the slowest speed of a Piper Seminole Airplane (twin engines)? Same question as above. Also: say that that same plane was going it’s slowest speed and was very close to the ground (ie: a flood-plain for the ‘ground’) because there wasn’t a place to land other than this floodplain. If you were to jump, would you survive?

The Piper Seminole is based on the Piper Arrow airframe with two engines and it is powered by the Lycoming IO-360 (180 HP) and there are minimum speeds in all categories. First with both turning there is minimum control with the airplane clean, gear down and flaps down. Now you have single-engine operation at minimum speeds in all categories mentioned above. Go look at the POH ( pilots operating handbook) and there will be your answers. If you think that jumping from a flying airplane is a smart thing to do, I suggest you find another occupation.

No, you won’t survive.

Can you recommend a good printed guide to buying a used GA, single engine, airplane? I tell a co-worker that I am going to get a Cessna 150 for recreating and sightseeing on the weekends. He proceeds to tell me that they are death traps, thousands of accidents are listed in NTSB database, the yoke can fall off into your hand, they are too light for safe aviation, underpowered, our base elevation is too high for that airplane, might as well change all the cables and pulleys before my first flight, etc. Wow! He owns a Piper, so I take all this with a grain of salt. But it did get me thinking. I have found a few guides for buying a Cessna 150 but I was wondering if you have a favorite?

Go to flight schools that still use 150s or talk with mechanics who used to work on 150s. If you don’t know who that would be, call some of the flight schools near you. They’ll know. Or you can call Cessna. They keep good records of Cessna Pilot Centers in your area, and some of them may have recollection of 150s. Often, magazines like Plane & Pilot will run “What to Look For” articles; these can be useful. No matter what, get a professional pre-inspection before you buy! Keep in mind, most of the C-150s were used as flight trainers. That’s a hard life, though maintenance should have been thorough. Check the airplane’s logs for repair history. You can research maintenance issues by subscribing to Cessna’s service, or search the FAA database for ADs (Airworthiness Directives) and SBs (Service Bulletins). Your plane should comply with all of them, before you buy it. As for your friend, he needs to get closer to reality. All airplanes are dangerous. They spend their entire working lives committing unnatural acts.

Is it possible to be allowed to fly your own little propellor airplane (like a piper seneca) if you have a? prosthetic left arm ? Would you be able to pass the medical test ?
-
The Seneca is a twin, and has pretty complex controls. Start with a very simple single engine airplane before deciding how complex an airplane you can handle. Many amputations can be managed in a way that will allow you to pass the third class medical exam with waivers, so long as you are otherwise in good health. Consult the FAA Flight Surgeon’s office on line for basic advice about the process you will go through.
-
Yes. You may have to jump through a few more bureacratic hoops, like a statement of demonstrated ability or a waiver, but it can be done. I had a multiengine student who had only one arm. The designated examiner that I sent him up with had only one leg. Between the two of ‘em they had enough limbs to fly the aircraft. He passed his ride. It can be done.

Really need to know and understand the following? A Piper Cub airplane flies due north at a velocity of 100 km/h. The plane encounters a 30 km/h wind blowing towards 25? E of S. What is the resultant velocity of the aircraft? a. 74 km/h b. 91 km/h c. 95 km/h d. 104 km/h
-
Draw the two vectors and do a vector addition, and compute the magnitude. It’s a headwind, so d is out. b and c are too close to 100, so (a) is probably the answer, lacking the calculation.

Where can I buy a bank repossessed airplane? I’m in the market for a new single engine plane and I’m interested in contacting some banks to see if they have some repo’s I could take off their hands. Does anyone have some contact information or experience doing this? Aircraft Models: Cirrus SR22 or SR20, Diamond DA-40, older planes I would consider Mooney, Bonanza 33, 35, 36, Piper, etc…
-
I don’t know of any banks who will take direct possession of an airplane. You might do a google search for aircraft brokers instead.

no.. not really.. i mean.. personally i don’t think that a 14 year old can write well in a 35 year old man’s perspective.. the plot is good, but the way it’s written.. not so much…. i really didn’t like how he described himself.. “I’m a 35 year old business man from LA, I have no survival skills. and I have never been outdoors for more than 2 hours.” it’s.. just.. if that’s the main character.. then no. i wouldn’t read it.. he shouldn’t describe himself like that.. in just a line.. he should found out he has no survival skills and then drop to the conclusion that is probably because he hasn’t been outside for more than 2 hours.. and then i’m guessing he’s going to learn how to survive? or meet someone that will help him?.. so i don’t think i would read it unless you change some things..
-
wow… that is very very good… i like it! hurry up and write more! P.S. u have great vocab skills 4 a 14 year old! =)

i think it is good, but some of the sentences don’t make sense, you have put one word in there that is in the wrong tense. i don’t think that the main character should be described like you have done either. you could put the part about him never being outside, but im not sure about the rest. i dont know whether it is just me, but i got a little confused, i may have just read it wrong or something, but it seemed to skip a part. like one minuet he is in the plane and the next, he is somewhere else, searching for his insulin. that bit is a bit confusing. i think that apart from that and a couple of sentences that you need to edit it is a good story start. i think that a 35 year old man is a bit hard for you to describe as the main character, why not someone that is a little younger. it might be easier for you to write from that perspective. =0 keep writing thou!
