Piper Cherokee PA140 Classic

The Cherokee 140 "Classic" version is a Piper Cherokee PA28-140 with IFR capability and an upgraded instrument panel, different than the Original version. The Classic version of our Cherokee 140 is based on the same airframe and engine as our "Original" version, but is equipped for IFR flight.

There are two COM radios and two NAV radios with corresponding OBS instruments. It has the X-Plane g430 GPS, and an STEC 55x autopilot. For our pilots located in other countries besides the USA, we included an ADF receiver. This version is a great choice for pilots who prefer IFR capability, flying ILS approaches with autopilot control, and who enjoy flying hands-free under autopilot. The Classic version panel is modeled after a real-world Piper Cherokee 140 with a slightly more modern instrument panel than was found in the original Cherokees.
