Performance Summary. Specifications. The cabin of these airplanes started more than 20 years ago with the Cherokee Six. Originally powered by a 260-horsepower Lycoming, it evolved quickly to a 300-hp engine. And while the original airplane was brave, courageous, and true, it lacked sizzle.
The Saratoga TC delivers a respectable 166 knots true airspeed at 10,500 feet with the 300-horsepower Lycoming TIO-540 putting out only 71-percent power. This "normal cruise" setting requires 30 inches of manifold pressure and a relatively quiet 2,300 rpm.
For instance, the Turbo Saratoga SP is only 12 knots faster at 65 percent power than the fixed-gear version; the Saratoga SP is only nine knots faster at 11,000 feet, its optimum altitude for 65 percent power (which is not the optimum altitude for the Turbo Saratoga).
