Carenado Piper PA-34 Seneca II - a quick view

This is a rather easy aircraft to fly because it's got counter rotating propellers which means it's symmetric and you won't have to use the pedals very much. It's also stable in the air so when trimmed it's almost like on autopilot. You can get into it and fly it without reading any manual so it's not got very complicated systems.


Looks good outside and inside, very good sound (I think; I can't hear details and quality very well compared with four years ago but I can hear it changes with angle and when you open the small ventilator window so it's obvious a lot of work has gone into it). Panel is both clear and looking prototypical.



So it's in many respects an ideal GA aircraft.


The one thing I'm not so fond of are the engine nacelles: They block a lot of the view. To me it makes this aircraft less than ideal when you want to look at scenery as you fly, unless you use external views, of course.
