There are plenty of used examples on the market and the Seneca remains popular as a multi-engine trainer, but it’s not the sort of airplane anyone who learned in will want to immediately ditch in favor of something sexier. Arguably, it does nothing extraordinarily well-it’s not exceptionally fast or a joy to fly, nor will it turn heads on the ramp-but it does a lot well enough.īut one can be affordable to buy and maintain (earlier ones, anyway), carries a good load and flies without any nasty habits. It’s easy to see why the Seneca has endured.
Both have endured for various reasons, although neither is made in much volume these days. Piper builds two of them, the Seminole and the Seneca. On the other hand, for various reasons, the market for new piston twins remains relatively flat, and there are few models for the taking.
The Beech Baron, Travel Air, Piper Aztec and even the Beech Duke are all examples. As we have reported in previous used aircraft articles, used piston twins are generally good deals in the current sales market.
