Piper PA-28-151

The Piper PA-28-151 Warrior is a four-seat, low-wing, fixed-tricycle-gear piston single associated with model years 1974 through 1977. It uses the Lycoming O-320-E3D rated at 150 hp.

The PA-28-151 belongs to the fixed-gear PA-28 family and precedes the 160 hp PA-28-161 Warrior II generation.

The PA-28-151 Warrior is associated with model years 1974 through 1977 and is certificated under FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet 2A13.

Piper documentation groups the PA-28-151 Warrior together with early PA-28-161 Warrior II and Warrior III aircraft for maintenance and service information, while the certification data distinguish the individual model and serial-number applicability.

The succeeding PA-28-161 increased the engine rating from 150 hp to 160 hp and continued the Warrior line under a new model designation.

The PA-28-151 model designation identifies the certified Warrior variant, but individual aircraft may differ because of equipment changes and approved modifications accumulated during decades of service.

Maximum weights, fuel capacity, loading limits and center of gravity data must be taken from the POH or AFM, supplements and current weight and balance records applicable to the specific aircraft.

The PA-28-151 and PA-28-161 are closely related Warrior variants, but they use different Lycoming O-320 engine models and different factory power ratings.

Weight, fuel and loading data must be selected for the exact model and serial-number applicability rather than transferred between the two variants.

Piper PA-28-151 weight and balance calculations must use the current basic empty weight and moment or arm for the individual airplane together with the approved loading limits for its configuration.

Maximum weight, fuel capacity and center of gravity limits should be taken from the approved documentation applicable to the specific aircraft rather than from a generic Warrior value.
