"PIPER CHEYENNE, Turboprop Plane Charter!"
Certification was granted on 3 May 1972. The original Cheyenne, produced from 1974 to 1977, did not carry a Roman numeral suffix designation.

Due to its reduced power, this airplane does not require an SAS. The Cheyenne IIXL (PA-31T-2-620XL) is a stretched (by two feet) version of the Cheyenne II. Certified in February 1981 and built until 1984, it does not use SAS.
The Cheyenne IA (PA-31T-1A-500), certified May 1983 and produced until 1985, brought together several design improvements to the basic Cheyenne I.
The PA-42-720 Cheyenne III was announced in September 1977. The first production Cheyenne III flew for the first time on May 18, 1979 and FAA certification was granted in early 1980.

Those in the market for a Aircraft Charter in an entry-level turboprop twin have a lot of choices these days.
The trick, as always, is to find the airplane that offers the most features for the money, fits typical mission requirements.
It hits a prospective owner’s emotional hot buttons. Of course, high on the list of importance is speed.
But good looks, affordability, and ease of maintenance are just as important. For a large number of buyers and aircraft charter's, the early models of Piper’s Cheyenne series fulfill these requirements.
By “early models,” we mean the original Cheyenne (later renamed Cheyenne II), the Cheyenne IA, and the stretched Cheyenne IIXL.
The other three Cheyenne models, the III, IIIA, and 400LS, don’t really fit into the entry-level category.
Design work on the Cheyenne began in 1965 as a turboprop-powered version of Piper’s Pressurized Navajo.
The Navajo airframe was fitted out with 620-shaft-horsepower Pratt & Whitney PT6A-28 engines, given a pair of 30 gallon wing-tip fuel tanks, and certified in May 1972.

This model, designated the PA-31T-620, was manufactured from 1974 to 1977. Some 178 of these Cheyennes were built, and they were very popular in their day.
That big nose can swallow up to 300 pounds and so can the aft baggage hold. The wing lockers behind the engines can take an additonal 100 pounds each.
The Piper fuselage is narrower than the King Air's. Getting into a Cheyenne isn't quite like doing a limbo dance, but with a full load the quarters can get a little tight.
And the passenger seats track laterally into the aisle, yielding more shoulder room.
But this is not the ride of choice for a claustrophobe. There is seating for seven passengers (if you count the belted potty) and two pilots.
Cheyennes are relatively safe. Over the last five years, they have had a lower overall accident rate than either of two competitive turboprops-the Cessna Conquests or the King Air 90s-according to the aviation accident reporting firm of Robert E. Breiling & Associates.

Like the Cessna 421, the Cheyenne IIXL also has the spacious 7 passenger cabin, as well as being one of the fastest aircraft in our fleet, with a cruise speed of 275 miles per hour.
