The Duchess is a four-seater, twin-engine T-tail aircraft equipped with a retractable tricycle landing gear and two 180hp four-cylinder engines fitted with constant-speed propellers. Its IFR-capable avionics suite, excellent handling characteristics and counter-rotating propellers make it an ideal aircraft for multi-engine flight training and the perfect step up from single-engine aircraft such as the PA-28. A cruise speed of 155 knots, a range of 780 nautical miles and a service ceiling of 20,000ft also make it a very capable touring aircraft.
