Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

Brazil Fleet
The Piper Seneca II is a 7-seat (pilot included) twin-engine piston aircraft with a 725 nm range, built from 1975 to 1981. The up-to-date RAB-ANAC registration count, summed across the variants of the Seneca V family, is in the Brazil Fleet section of this page, and the breakdown by status is in the model's Analytics.
The type acceptance report of New Zealand's Civil Aviation Authority (TAR 3/21B/21, revision 2, of 22 Nov 2010) transcribes FAA type certificate data sheet A7SO (revision 14, of 1 Jun 2001), under which the PA-34-200T (Seneca II) was approved by the FAA on 18 Jul 1974. The same report says the Seneca was introduced in 1972 as a twin-engine version of the PA-32 Cherokee Six, with 200 hp Lycoming engines, and that for the 1975 Seneca II Piper switched to turbocharged six-cylinder Continental engines.
Out of production, the model can only be bought pre-owned. The pre-owned median and open listings, kept up to date, are in the price card and the For sale now card of this page.
