		Piper’s PA-24 Comanche was the company’s entry into the four-seat retractable market.
		Piper’s Cherokee 180 and Arrow were developments of the earlier Cherokee 160, and many regarded the 180 as the first true four-place, as well as four-seat, airplanes.
		Comanches came in two flavors: a 180-hp version for the economy-minded, and a 250-hp airplane intended more for those in search of maximum performance and hauling heavy loads.

	Plane & Pilot Magazine Piper’s First Retractable Single
		Piper’s Comanche was introduced as both a 180-hp and a 250-hp model, sporting four- and six-cylinder versions of the same engine.
		The Comanche was conceived in the late ’50s when Piper and the rest of the industry was playing catch-up with the premier four-seat retractable, the Beech Bonanza.
		The comparison chart suggests the Comanche’s cruise is the slowest in the class, but Wall feels the gap may be considerably narrower in the real world, as speeds for some of the other models are probably overstated.

		Comanche sales wallowed in double digits in the six years prior to the flood, thanks in large part to the success of the lower-priced Arrow retractable that evolved out of the 1961 Cherokee.
		Piper's competition had moved to metal -- stressed-skin and monocoque construction -- technologies Beech brought to the fore of personal flying with the groundbreaking 1947 Bonanza.

	TSB Reports - Air 2000 - A00P0197
		On the morning of 12 October 2000, the Piper Comanche, serial number 24-2051, departed the Rendell Creek airstrip, 30 nautical miles southeast of Kelowna, British Columbia, for a visual flight rules (VFR) flight to Colorado, USA.
		According to the standard take-off performance graph in the Piper Comanche PA-24-250 Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM), with 0 degrees of flap, the same atmospheric conditions, and an aircraft weight similar to the accident flight, the aeroplane would require more than 2500 feet to become airborne.
		The Piper Comanche then snapped forward and landed heavily, sliding along felled trees for a short distance before striking tree stumps and stopping 450 feet off the end of the runway.

	All Wood Wings: Piper Twin Comanche PA-30
		The Twin Comanche was originally proposed as early as 1956, when the single engine Comanche PA-24 was undergoing initial development but it was not until 1962 that a Comanche was converted to a twin engine configuration using two 160hp IO-320 engines.
		From 1970 onwards the Twin Comanche C featured a slightly higher cruising speed and interior improvements while the PA-39 Twin Comanche C/R is fitted with counter rotating engines.
		Improvements to the PA-30 resulted in the introduction of the Twin Comanche B in 1965 which featured a stretched fuselage allowing comfortable seating for six.

	Airliners.net: Piper PA-30/39 Twin Comanche
		The Twin Comanche was originally proposed as early as 1956, when the single engine Comanche was undergoing initial development, however the project was delayed while Piper worked on the Comanche and the Aztec twin.
		The Twin Comanche differed little from its single engine brethren other than changes associated with its twin engine layout, and it quickly proved to be very popular.
		So it was not until 1962 that a Comanche was converted to a twin configuration with two 120kW (160hp) IO-320s (originally two 110kW (150hp) engines were planned), with first flight on November 7 1962.

		Shortly after the pilot of a Piper PA 24 Comanche departed Camrose, Alta., for Red Deer, the engine RPM started to decrease and the aircraft was unable to maintain altitude.
		The Comanche pilot reported a decrease in RPM, but not engine roughness.
		Despite this, many pilots don’t recognize carb icing when it occurs, or they don’t use carb heat properly.
