Piper PA28 Warrior
The Piper Warrior is a reliable, comfortable and economical aircraft useful for training and for private hire. At Minovation we have two Warriors, VH-PMW, the oldest Warrior in Australia, and VH-PZK.
Piper PA28 Dakota
The Dakota is often used for private hire. With a variable pitch propeller and fixed undercarriage this aircraft is ideal for longer trips away and trips where a high payload is needed. The Dakota is the aircraft we use for CPL training.
Piper PA28 Archer
The Archer is ideal for a trip away. Comfortable and with 180 horsepower engine to give a cruising speed of 115 knots, able to carry more load than the Warrior and with autopilot to relieve the workload on a long flight.
