The Piper PA-32R-300 Lance was a high-performance single-engine aircraft that filled the crucial gap left by the discontinued Comanche line after flood damage destroyed production tooling in 1972. First flown on August 30, 1974, it was a low-wing retractable-gear monoplane powered by a 300-horsepower Lycoming IO-540 engine and capable of seating six to seven occupants. With a maximum speed of 222 mph and a range of 852 miles, the Lance offered the heavy-lift capability of the Cherokee Six with significantly improved performance. The aircraft was manufactured by Piper Aircraft in Vero Beach, Florida.
