As above poster said though, seating five, is beyond the certification of a PA28. It was designed as a family tourer, 2 adults and 2 children.
It's not certified for 5 hence why I said we will leave 1 child behind.
I would even leave the 2nd child behind, but due to sensitivity I haven't mentioned that part yet. The flight isn't until September so just trying to do some advance planning etc.
I'm only 5ft 10 and haven't had any taller than me in the aircraft yet so don't know how 'cosy' it can get.
