Why does Piper put the door of the plane on the passenger side? I
cannot think of one good reason. Would like to hear the group's
opinions.

I find the passenger-side door convenient because my passengers can
leave the plane right after shutdown while I'm refolding my charts,
copying the Hobbs time, etc.

I'd guess that the original reason was so that passengers could get in
and out of the plane while the engine was still running, back when
people were less worried about that sort of thing.


All the best,
