A low-wing member of the legendary PA-28 Cherokee family, the Warrior is stable, IFR-equipped, and honest in every phase of flight. It is the airplane generations of pilots earned their wings in — and two of them fly from our Van Nuys line every day.
Piper's PA-28 has been the backbone of flight training for over half a century, and the Warrior is the version that got the formula right: a longer, tapered wing for gentle stall behavior, a dependable 160-horsepower Lycoming, and a cabin roomy enough to fly with an instructor and still bring a friend along.
Sit low over the wing and you get a stable, planted feel that makes learning to land far less intimidating. Because our Warriors are IFR-equipped, the same airplane that teaches you to fly can carry you straight through your instrument rating without ever switching cockpits.
Some lessons are simply easier to learn on the ground first. Our full-motion Redbird MCX lets you rehearse instrument approaches, emergencies, and checklist flows before you fly them for real — and approved simulator time counts toward your certificate. Every hour in the sim makes the next hour in the Warrior go further.
Take one up with an instructor and feel why this airplane has taught the world to fly. Seven days a week at Van Nuys.
Real students, real first flights, real ratings — straight from Google and Yelp.
