A Piper PA-28-161 (Warrior II) with a Continental CD-135 engine is a modern, efficient variant of the classic trainer, featuring a 135-horsepower Jet-A diesel piston engine instead of traditional avgas, offering lower operating costs, simpler engine management (FADEC), and flexibility with heavy fuels, often available as a certified retrofit kit for older PA-28s. This diesel-powered setup enhances reliability, reduces CO2, and makes it a popular choice for flight schools seeking cost savings and easier logistics, while maintaining the familiar handling of the PA-28 airframe.
Aircraft is located in Sri Lanka. Disassembly, packing and export C of A, is included in the price. Purchaser will only need to pay for the shipping from Colombo, Sri Lanka.
