Common card · No. 306595

The Piper PA-44 Seminole is a twin-engined light aircraft designed and manufactured by the American aviation company Piper Aircraft. Developed from the single-engined Piper Cherokee, the Seminole first flew in May 1976 and was type certified on March 10, 1978, permitting it to enter service that same year. Possessing relatively predictable and favourable handling, the aircraft commonly marketed towards, and used for, multi-engined flight training. The initial model was quickly followed by the PA-44-180T Turbo Seminole, powered by turbocharged Lycoming TO-360-E1A6D engines and possessing improved high altitude performance. Another variant, the diesel-fuelled PA-44 Seminole DX, was under development in the 2020s. The Seminole has been built in three production runs; from 1979 to 1982, 1989 to 1990, and continuously since 1995.
