About the Piper Twin Comanche

The Piper Twin Comanche (PA-30 and counter-rotating PA-39) is a four-seat light twin with twin 160 hp Lycoming IO-320s — small, efficient, and one of the most fuel-efficient twins ever built. The PA-39 added counter-rotating props. Cruising around 175 knots on modest fuel burn, the Twin Comanche is the economical entry into twin-engine ownership.

Buying a Used Piper Twin Comanche

When buying a Piper Twin Comanche, the biggest value drivers are engine time since overhaul, maintenance-record completeness, damage history and avionics.

What to check before buying

  • Engine time to overhaul — hours and years remaining drive price more than total airframe time.
  • Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records protect value.
  • Damage history — any prior accident or incident; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
  • Avionics — a modern glass panel vs legacy steam gauges materially changes price.
  • Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions — Piper Twin Comanche

How much does a used Twin Comanche cost?
It is usually one of the more affordable piston twins to buy and run. See the live price range and median above for current Twin Comanche listings.
Why is the Twin Comanche known for efficiency?
It uses two small 160-hp engines on a clean airframe, giving notably low fuel burn for a twin — appealing to owners who want redundancy without high running costs.
What is the difference between the PA-30 and PA-39?
The later PA-39 adds counter-rotating propellers, which remove the critical engine and improve engine-out handling; the PA-30 has conventional same-rotation props.
How does it compare to the single Comanche?
The Twin Comanche shares Comanche DNA but adds a second engine for redundancy, at the cost of higher complexity and maintenance than the single PA-24.
