The Piper Navajo
This general aviation classic represents the most finely etailed model, which includes both the Navajo Panther and Colemill Modification types. Itis the most popular cabin class twin engine aircraft ever built. It gives up to ten passengers executive style comfort with club style seating and large windows. The reliable twin turbocharged Lycoming engines provide ample power, cruising at over 200 mph.The Navajo is a durable aircraft capable of operating in and out of even unimproved runways, and a favorite for charter and corporate flying. It's large cabin,
fuel economy, and visual appeal make it a favorite of pilots and passengers alike. The Panther conversion increases climb and cruise performance over the basic Navajo.
While relatively solid on the controls, the Navajo remains responsive, if not nimble, and is stable throughout the flight envelope. This estrordinary aircraft incorporates avionics that makes it ideal as an IFR platform.
Both the standard cockpit and virtual cockpit are faithful representations to their real world
counterpart down to the smallest detail.
It could best be described as a robust workhorse. It is a satisfying aircraft to fly if flown well, and this durable design serves operators well. From a pilot's perspective it is a pleasant albeit noisy aircraft to fly. Flight deck noise levels are quite intrusive at even moderate power settings and few choose to
operate the Navajo without the use of headsets.
Colemill Enterprises of Nashville, Tennessee and it's conversions to the Panther raised the performance of the airplane even more. The cowlings and long spinners of the stock Navajo are replaced with a blunter nacelle with deeper inlets. New four-blade Hartzell Q-tip propellers are used from the fatter spinners. The Zip Tip winglets provide additional lift, more stability, and reduce yawing effect in rough air. The Colemill conversion has been well-received by pilots and passengers.
Aerodynamic improvements and improved sound insulation, and cabin sealing being two areas of interest. The basic airframe offered considerable scope for comfort nhancements especially as the airframe aged. Although it has been out of production for almost twenty years, the Navajo remains one of the most sought after twin engine general aviation designs of all time. It has been the focus of much attention and design enhancements by third party remanufactures.
