Certification for this model is listed under Type Certificate Data Sheet 2A13 - Piper PA-28 series.

Piper PA-28-180 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-28-180 model applicability and configuration

Verify exact model designation, serial number, installed engine or engines, fuel system, landing-gear or seaplane configuration, and approved equipment against the applicable FAA record and aircraft documentation.

Piper PA-28-180 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-28-180 calculator.

Always verify aircraft applicability. Check the current POH or AFM, equipment list and weight and balance records for the individual aircraft.
