Answer The Piper PA-38 Tomahawk is a single-engine, tricycle gear, light weight aviation aircraft used primarily for flight training, touring and personal use. The Tomahawk was Piper's attempt at creating an affordable two-place trainer. Before designing the aircraft, Piper widely surveyed flight instructors for their input into the design. Instructors requested a more spinnable aircraft for training purposes, since other two-place trainers such as the Cessna 150 or Cessna 152 were designed to spontaneously fly out of a spin. The Tomahawk's GA(W)-1 Whitcomb airfoil addresses this requirement by requiring specific pilot input in recovering from spins, thus allowing pilots to develop proficiency in dealing with spin recovery. Another characteristic of the Piper Tomahawk that favors its suitability as a primary trainer is that the flight control forces mimic those of a much heavier aircraft. As a result, student pilots that learn to fly in a Tomahawk transition much more successfully to larger aircraft, hence the popularity of the Tomahawk with U.S. Air Force flying clubs. All in all, the Tomahawk is one of the best planes to learn to fly in.

What is a good training airplane?
There are a few. Right now, the safest primary trainer is probably the Diamond DA-20. Diamond started out making gliders, so their planes have a real long glideslope--14:1, or 14 feet of forward flight for every foot of descent. IOW, if you're 1000 feet off the ground and the engine dies, you can go 14,000 feet before the plane is on the ground. (Some DA-20s have an 11:1 glideslope--not quite as good as 14:1 but still very respectable.) The problem with the DA-20 is no one in his right mind would buy one as his only airplane. It's a two-seater that flies slow. If you want to train in the airplane you'll eventually buy, there are, to me, only four real choices: the primary trainers are the Cessna 173 and Warrior; the advanced trainers are the Piper Arrow and Cessna Skylane. If you want the plane to train for a commercial certificate, go with the Piper--Cessnas don't have retractable gear, which the Piper does. There's one other trainer you need to know about--the Piper Seminole. It has two engines. If you want to fly for an airline, even a regional, they look at your multiengine time because transport aircraft are all multiengine.
