Piper Aztec Information

When Cessna would come out with a new model, the other two members of GA's Big Three would develop a model that would carry more, go faster, go farther or whatever.



Case in point: when Cessna upgraded its 310, Piper countered by adding a fifth seat and bigger engines to its Apache, thus creating the PA-23-250 Aztec.



The first really big change came about in 1962, when Piper introduced the Aztec B.



With its longer nose and bigger cabin—now with room for a sixth seat—the B model ushered in the big, brawny, beefy Aztec look that everyone is familiar with today.



Two years later, Piper again enhanced the model's appearance and performance and brought out the Aztec C.



Standard equipment on Aztec C airplanes included fiberglass gear doors, fuel injection, dual alternators and more.



The Aztec D offered pilots a standardized instrument panel and changes to the controls in 1969.



Factory-option turbos gave the aircraft a top speed of 250 mph at 24,000 feet. Turbos were first introduced by the factory in 1965.



While the new nose looked cool, reports are that the cosmetic refinement actually came with a 100-pound reduction in the useful load.



While the Aztec, like its competition, was continually "improved" over the years, it never really changed much.



Then as now, it's an honest airplane that gives you the ability to pretty much fill the seats, fill the tanks and take off.



And those very attributes are why Mark Matheson has made the Piper Aztec his airplane of choice for business and personal flying.



A steel tubular airframe that's incredibly strong and resistant to the corrosion issues plaguing other aircraft of that era.



It also comes with six-place factory oxygen and has a big panel that offers enough room for advanced avionics.



It's a true six-passenger aircraft that still allows for plenty of fuel, or it can carry four passengers with baggage and full fuel.

  2. Single-engine performance is exceptional. It'll climb at full gross weight—and the single-engine service ceiling is above the minimum en route altitude for mountain flying.



    There's plenty of speed: an Aztec flies at 200-plus ktas if you want to burn fuel, but pull the throttles back to 170 and it will burn 32 gph total.



    The plane has de-icing boots on its leading edges, de-icing for the props and a heated windshield.



    While its maximum and cruise speeds compare favorably with the swiftest competitor, the short, thick wing permits slow and safe air-speeds.
