This repaint offers a custom livery of the Piper Archer II registered as TI-ANI from ECDEA (Escuela Costarricense de Aviación) designed for the payware Carenado PA28-181 model. Created by Luis Jimenez Trejos, it requires the original Carenado aircraft files (sold separately) to function correctly in Microsoft Flight Simulator X.
Highlighted Features and Technical Notes
- Authentic ECDEA Markings: The exterior fuselage and tail showcase the official TI-ANI registration, accurately reflecting the real-world Costa Rican training aircraft.
- Optimized Textures: Each texture has been refined to highlight the Archer II’s airframe details, ensuring visually pleasing views from all exterior angles.
- Payware Compatibility: These textures have been tailored for Carenado’s PA28-181 model, which is a paid product. Owners of the payware model can integrate these repaints seamlessly.
- Dedicated to Flight Training: The Piper Archer II remains a common choice for flight academies, competing directly with similar single-engine trainers like the Cessna 172.
Aircraft Background
The Piper Archer II (also known as the PA-28-181) sits among the popular single-engine planes in the Cherokee series. Introduced in the 1970s, it features a 180 HP engine, a low-wing configuration, and a stable tricycle landing gear, making it favorable for both student pilots and recreational aviators. ECDEA in Costa Rica employs this platform for pilot instruction, thanks to its predictable handling and durable airframe.
