Meet Piper PA-28-236 Dakota
The Dakota takes the PA-28's low-wing, four-seat layout into a more powerful touring configuration. Its fixed tricycle undercarriage distinguishes it from the retractable-gear Arrow, while the six-cylinder engine separates it from the smaller Warrior.
The PA-28-236 designation identifies the aircraft more precisely than Cherokee alone. It retains the family's stabilator and single right-side cabin door, but its engine, loading and performance figures need Dakota-specific context.
