Piper Archer
Private pilots are allowed to fly any aircraft for which they are appropriately rated. ”Appropriately rated“ refers to the successful training in a specific category and class rating of aircraft. An example of ”category“ would be ”airplane“ or ”helicopter“ while an example of ”class rating“ would be ”single-engine land“ meaning the aircraft has one engine and is limited to operations on land rather than on water. So, upon completion of your Private Pilot Certificate rated for ”airplane, single-engine land“ although you may have trained in a Cessna 172 you are allowed to act as pilot-in-command (PIC) in any aircraft that is a single-engine land airplane, a <anchor>Piper Archer</anchor> for example. Acting as pilot-in-command means you have the final authority and responsibility for the operation of the aircraft and the safety of the flight. Some aircraft may require additional authorization to act as PIC, known as receiving an endorsement, such as tailwheel or high-performance aircraft.

# 230 Piper Archer TXs  Modern & Reliable Single-Engine Training Aircraft

#### The perfect gateway to launching pilots’ flying careers all over the world.

With 230 Archers already in service, ATP continues to expand its fleet of factory-new Piper Archer TX single-engine advanced training aircraft, all of which are equipped with either the Garmin G500 or G1000 NXi glass cockpit avionics suites.

The Garmin G500 is a Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Multifunction Display (MFD) dual-screen electronic flight display. Dual 6.5-in.

New deliveries of the Piper Archer feature the Garmin G1000 NXi, with dual flat-panel LCDs interchangeable for use as either the PFD or MFD. While the G1000 NXi looks similar to older G1000 flight decks, dual-core processors significantly boost the system's speed. with enhanced features, ensuring you train with best-in-class technology.
