Piper PA-38-112 (Tomahawk) | G-TMHK

When the original Piper Aircraft Corporation first conceived a new trainer in the mid-1970s, the company polled CFIs to determine what traits this aeroplane should have. The Tomahawk delivers what these special customers ordered: an aeroplane that provides an honest response to pilot inputs, a comfortable cabin with great visibility, and big aeroplane-style handling. The cockpit layout is geared for safety, with the fuel selector front and centre on the console.

Our flight instructors feel strongly that the Tomahawk does what Piper intended.  "The student is well trained, and they can't get away with some of the things they can in other trainers.” The larger feel to the aircraft means the conversion between the PA-38 and the more common PA-28 is very subtle.

This specific 1978 Piper Tomahawk has recently been rebuilt by Fox Aircraft Engineering. At this time the aircraft was also completely repainted and fitted with a full exterior LED lighting suit.

Small, compact, and cheap to run. This economical Piper Tomahawk is perfect for an hour builder looking to consolidate the skill whilst travelling the continent. People mock the six-pack instrument cluster, in the modern age but it is the only true way to develop proper situational awareness, which you can support with a honed instrument scan cycle. The instruments along with the rest of the aircraft do as they say on the tin. No matter whether you’re crossing Land or Water, Day or Night, this aircraft will get you to your destination.
