One of our most popular trainers.

The Piper Warrior is one of the most forgiving aircraft we operate — an excellent choice for first-time pilots. N786DJ wears a fresh paint scheme, a new interior, and all-new windows, and the RAM 160 HP upgrade means it climbs like a homesick angel.

  • Fresh paint scheme, new interior, new windows.
  • RAM 160 HP engine upgrade — dramatically improved takeoff, climb and cruise performance.
  • 48-gallon fuel capacity — 4+ hours endurance, ideal for cross-country training.

A great cross-country traveler, too.

Beyond the traffic pattern, N786DJ is a comfortable cross-country airplane. With 48 gallons of fuel and a 125-knot cruise (143 mph), a 500-mile trip takes less than 4 hours. Holding $100 of fuel margin and standard reserves, you can plan real trips — not just sim profiles.

The right panel for primary and instrument training.

N786DJ is equipped with a panel that takes you all the way from first lesson through your Instrument check ride. Using the same aircraft for every rating saves both time and money.

  • Garmin GNS 430W GPS/NAV/COM with Garmin 106A CDI.
  • Garmin GTX 330ES transponder with ADS-B Out — fully NextGen compliant.
  • MK12D nav with Glide Slope, ID-825 CDI, and AV-30 MFD.
  • PS Engineering stereo audio panel with Bluetooth.
