__NOTOC__

The Piper PA-44 Seminole is essentially a twin-engine version of the popular Piper Cherokee series of small, single-engine flight training aircraft. Like its single-engine counterparts, it is primarily used for twin-engine flight training. It is equipped with two 180-hp Lycoming engines, and it is often complained that the aircraft is greatly under-powered, especially for engine-out training.

Other than having two engines, it is further distinguished from the rest of the Cherokee trainer line in having a high T-tail. This design is highly similar to the Beechcraft Duchess.
