Will it be comfortable to take a really tall passenger in a PA28??
Hello,

I have a friend who is interested in going flying but he is 6ft 4 inches and weighs 80-90kg and I only have a PA28 Warrior.

It will be a family day out (cost sharing) and the family consists of:

Husband
Wife
2 kids (7 yrs and 4 yrs) - 20kg and 15kg respectively.

I will run the numbers but wanted to know if this getting a 6ft 4inch chap in a PA28 is even feasible.

I am guessing that 1 child may have to stay behind as I cant see the Wife and 2 kids sitting in the back comfortably without us being out of balance on full tanks..

Perhaps even half tanks..

Thanks
