The information on the engines in the article is correct - the early PA-34-200 Seneca I is powered by a pair of Lycoming IO-360-C1E6 4-cylinder engines, while the Model PA-34-200T Seneca II and later variants are powered by turbocharged, six cylinder Continental TSIO-360E engines (and later engine sub-models). The specs as presented are for the early Lycoming-powered (4 cylinder) Seneca I and not the later six-cylinder models. - [[User:Ahunt|Ahunt]] ([[User talk:Ahunt|talk]]) 13:20, 22 October 2008 (UTC) |

Use of the 4-cyl Seneca I specs is preposterous since this model has been long discontinued and is in limited services (generally as a primary multi engine trainer). The specs should be for a current model Seneca since it is a currently supported model. |

I thought some or all of the PA-34-200T Seneca IIs are using TCM's TSIO-360 and LTSIO-360. Would someone who knows well about the subtypes of this craft add this information? I guess this may be one of the examples when explaining the countermeasures against propeller wash. -- Marsian 07:32, 2005 Jan 5 (UTC)
Specifications
What is the reason behind this particular light aircraft having three sets of specifications, when aircraft such as the Cessna 172, which have had far more models with many more powerplants, have only one set in accordance with the guidelines? As the guidelines indicate the specifications are "a short summary of aircraft's characteristics and performance." The Seneca would need a pretty strong justification for three sets of specs. - Ahunt (talk) 22:22, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- Lacking any justification for three sets of specs for this aircraft type I will remove two as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/page content - Ahunt (talk) 14:25, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
Engines - four or six cylinder
The information on the engines in the article is correct - the early PA-34-200 Seneca I is powered by a pair of Lycoming IO-360-C1E6 4-cylinder engines, while the Model PA-34-200T Seneca II and later variants are powered by turbocharged, six cylinder Continental TSIO-360E engines (and later engine sub-models). The specs as presented are for the early Lycoming-powered (4 cylinder) Seneca I and not the later six-cylinder models. - Ahunt (talk) 13:20, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Use of the 4-cyl Seneca I specs is preposterous since this model has been long discontinued and is in limited services (generally as a primary multi engine trainer). The specs should be for a current model Seneca since it is a currently supported model.
