Note that the PA-32R-301 comes in three flavors (Lance, Saratoga SP, Saratoga II HP).
These are seperate models on the TCDS which all have the same number. The FAA seems
to use HP and SP after the model number ot separate them in some contexts but just ignores
it in others...you really have to look at the serial number to see which TCDS applies to your
plane with those models.
