Aerostar 601P
The FAA approved the PA-60-601P, the Aerostar 601P, in November 1973. Two Lycoming IO-540-P1A5 or IO-540-S1A5 engines, fitted with automatic turbochargers under a supplemental type certificate, give 290 horsepower each and turn propellers 78 inches across. The data sheet gives a maximum take-off weight of 6,000 lb, or 2,722 kg, on later airplanes and 5,700 lb on the first ones, and six seats, or seven with a bench seat. Its wing and fuselage tanks hold 165.5 US gallons of usable fuel. No acceptable source read gives its dimensions or speeds, so this page has no drawing.
