I am curious why it cannot be used for GA training...

High Performance training and endorsements would be required to fly it. Why
not get the training in it. Is the school telling you it cannot be used for
training to force the "students" to use his aircraft and not yours?

If that is the case.. I'd research another school or FBO.

Is this a noted "School", part 141?? or just an FBO with a flight school.
Has something been done to the aircraft that it is now "Experimental"..

BTW.. I know a Piper 235B (and other letter variants) also known as
Pathfinder", but I've not heard of a Piper 236 (not to say there is not
one).

Greetings fellow pilots. I have a situaton at hand and am weighing some
options and thought that I have received good advice here before so I
figured I would try again. Here is my dilema..I am currently enrolled in
school to receive my commercial and CFI (as well as multi and CFII) I
have a great opportunity to purchase an airplane. I have talked to the
school about getting involved in the leaseback program. They are
encouraging that, however the plane I am looking at is a 1980 Piper
Dakota 236B. This plane has 235 horsepower. What I am wondering is if
the plane would fly enough to offset some of the cost of purchasing it.
I understand that it cannot be used for GA training. but I was wondering
if there was a big enough market out there on a rental basis that the
plane would fly enough to recoupe some financial outlay.
I am interested in what ya'all might think. Thanks for your help and as
always.....Happy Flying
