New York clients book piston aircraft when the trip is short, the group is small and a turbine aircraft would be more than the flight needs.
Piper introduced the Saratoga PA-32R in 1980. It seats 5 to 6 with a published range of 770 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 165 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 20,000 feet and 24.3 cubic feet of baggage volume.

Why the Piper Saratoga PA-32R Fits New York
With 770 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from New York to destinations such as Boston, Washington and Charleston, allowing for reserves and routing.
Smaller aircraft give New York clients the widest choice of airports, from Teterboro and Westchester County to Republic in Farmingdale, Morristown and, in summer, East Hampton and Gabreski for the Hamptons. Whether the aircraft can use a particular airport on your date is the operator’s call for that aircraft, its weight and the day’s weather, and your advisor will confirm it before anything is booked.
How New York Clients Use the Piper Saratoga PA-32R
New York clients use piston aircraft for short trips with one or two passengers, such as a hop to a small field upstate or on Long Island. Most have two to five seats and room for only light bags, so they make the most sense over short distances.
