260 horsepower. 1,557 pounds of useful load. Based at Mesa Gateway Airport in Mesa, Arizona. This is not a typical flight training aircraft — and that's the point.

Most East Valley pilots pursuing a high performance endorsement or building time toward ATP minimums have never flown anything like a PA-32-260. The Cherokee Six is wide, capable, and honest. It rewards disciplined planning and makes casual decision-making expensive. That's exactly the environment serious pilots need.

N4824S is IFR equipped with a Garmin GNS 430W, GTX 335 ADS-B Out, and a Piper Autocontrol III autopilot. It is hangared at KIWA, maintained to a conservative standard, and flown with crew-style discipline on every leg. For pilots in the Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, or broader East Valley area, it is the most capable single-engine training aircraft operating out of Mesa Gateway.

This is the airplane you'll log your hours in. It's worth getting acquainted.
