Piper PA-22 history and development
Piper PA-22 belongs to the Piper PA-22 Tri-Pacer / Colt / Caribbean family certificated under FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet 1A6. The family spans several horsepower ratings and landplane/seaplane configurations. Exact engine, maximum-weight and fuel values are intentionally not inferred from another PA-22 suffix.
Piper PA-22 fuel capacity
exact model-specific fuel capacity / usable fuel has not yet been verified from the applicable FAA type-certificate section, approved flight manual, or manufacturer data. Do not infer it from a neighboring Piper model or suffix.
Piper PA-22 model applicability and configuration
Verify the exact model designation, serial number, engine, landing-gear/float configuration and fuel installation against the applicable FAA certificate and approved aircraft documentation.
Piper PA-22 weight and balance
Use the exact model/serial-number loading data and the individual aircraft's approved weight-and-balance record. No baggage limit is inferred from a related Piper model. The exact model-specific maximum takeoff weight / gross weight remains unverified until the applicable approval section is verified. Operational loading must use the aircraft-specific empty weight, CG, station arms and limitations. Use the approved aircraft-specific documentation and current weight-and-balance record for operational calculations. WBcalc does not currently provide a model-specific Piper PA-22 calculator.
