Piper Seneca II PA-34
Responding to complaints about the aircraft’s handling qualities, Piper introduced the PA-34-200T Seneca II. The aircraft was certified in July 1974 and introduced as a 1975 model.
The new model incorporated changes to the aircraft’s control surfaces, including enlarged and balanced ailerons, the addition of a rudder anti-servo tab, and a stabilator bobweight.
The “T” in the new model designation reflected a change to turbocharged, six cylinder Continental Engine for improved performance, particularly at higher altitudes. The Seneca II retained the counter-rotating engine arrangement of the earlier Seneca I.[7]
The Seneca II also introduced optional “club seating” whereby the two centre-row seats face rearwards and the two back seats face forward allowing more legroom in the passenger cabin.
