If the area ahead is rough, or if it is necessary to clear obstructions, put gear selector switch in the position, and latch the gear lever in the override position. restart, proceed as follows: CHECK ON AS REQUIRED...
ARROW 11 ENGINE POWER LOSS IN FLIGHT Complete engine power loss is usually caused by fuel flow interruption, and power will be restored shortly after ft~el flow is restored. If power loss occurs a t low altitude, the first step is to prepare for an emergency landing (See POWER O F F LANDING).
Page 79
Wliethcr to attempt a landing with gear u p or down depends on msny f?r+crr the field chosen is obviously smooth and firm, and long enough to bring the plane t o a stop, the gear down position will better protect the occupants of the aircraft. If, however, the field is suspected to be excessively soft or short, or when landing in water of any depth, a wheels-up landing will normally be safer and do less damage to the airplane.
ARROW PROPELLER OVERSPEED Propeller overspeed is caused by a malfunction in the propeller governor, or low oil pressure, which allows the propeller blades to rotate to full low pitch. If this should occur, proceed as follows: 1. THRO'ITLE RETARD. OIL PRESSURE CHECK.
ARROW I1 SPINS Intentional spins are prohibited in this aircraft. If a spin is inadvertently entered, immediately use the following n IDLE. FULL OPPOSITE TO DIRECTION OF ROTATION.

ARROW I1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PREFLIGHT The airplane should be given a thorough visual inspection prior to each flight. Particular attention should be given t o the following items: Master switch and ignition OFF; landing gear switch DOWN; remove seat belt securing control wheel.
ARROW I1 Check tires for cuts, wear and proper inflation. Check brake blocks and discs for wear and damage. Check windshield for cleanliness. Check propeller and spinner for defects or nicks. Check for obvio~ls fuel or oil leaks. Check oil level. (Insure dipstick is properly seated.) Check cowling and inspection covers for security.
Longer cranking periods will shorten the life of the starter. STARTING WITH EXTERNAL POWER* An optional feature known as Piper External Power (PEP) allows the operator to use an external battery to crank the engine without having to access to the aircraft gain battery.
ARROW 11 RPM. Check vacuum gauge. Indicator should read 5" Hg .I" Hg at 2000 Check both the oil temperature and pressure. The temperature may be low for some time if the engine is being run for the first time of the day, but as long as the pressure is within limits the engine is ready for takeoff.
ARROW I1 Short Field, Obstacle Clearance: Lower flaps t o 25" (second notch), accelerate aircraft to 60-65 MPH and ease back on the wheel to rotate. After breaking ground, accelerate to best angle of climb speed, 8 5 MPH, select gear "up"* and continue climb while accelerating to best rate of climb speed, 104 MPH, and slowly retract the flaps while climbing out.
ARROW Il CRUISING The cntising speed of the Cherokee Arrow I1 is determined by many factors, including power setting, altitude, temperature, loading, and equipment installed on the airplane. The normal cniising power is of the rated horsepower of the engine True airspeeds which may be obtained at various altitudes and po*er settings can be determined from the charts in "Section XIII"...
ARROW I1 APPROACH AND LANDING Before landing check list: Seat backs -erect Fasten beltslharness Fuel on proper tank Fuel pump Mixture Propeller - DOWN Gear Flaps set (1 25 MPH) Air conditioner The airplane should be trimmed t o an approach speed of about 9 0 MPH with the flaps and gear extended.
ARROW 11 AIRSPEED DATA All airspeeds quoted in this manual are calibrated unless otherwise noted. Calibrated airspeed is indicated airspeed corrected for instrument and pos~tion errors. The following table gives the correlation between indicated airspeed and calibrated airspeed if zero instrument error is assumed This calibration is valid only when flown at maximum gross weight in level flight.

ARROW 11 activated by a longitudinal force of 5 g's and transmits a distress signal on both 121.5 MHz and for a period of from 48 hours in low temperature areas up to 100 llours in kigh 243.0 temperature areas. The unit operates on a self-contained battery. The replacement date as required by FAA regulations is marked on the transmitter label.
ARROW I1 NOTE If fbr any reason a test transmission is necessary, the operator must first obtain permission from local representative (or other applicable Authority). Test transmission should be kept to a minimal duration. AIR CONDITIONMG To operate the air conditioning system either on the ground or in flight: Start the engine (ground operation).
Page 139
ARROW I1 Although the cruise speed and range are only slightly affected by the air conditioner operation, these changes should be considered in preflight planning. To be conservative, the following figures assume that the compressor is operating continuously while the airplane is airborne.
Page 142
ARROW I1 OPERATING T I P S The following Operating Tips are of particular value in the operation of the Cherokee Arrow 11. Learn t o trim for take-off so that only a very light back pressure on the wheel is required t o lift the airplane off the ground.

ARROW Before attempting to taxi the airplane, ground personnel should be checked out by a qualified pilot or other responsible person. Engine starting and shut-down procedures should be covered as well as taxi techniques. When it is ascertained that the propeller back blast and taxi areas are clear, power should be applied to start the taxi roll and the following checks should be performed.

ARROW CLEANING CLEANING ENGINE COMPARTMENT Before cleaning the engine compatment, place a strip of tape on the magneto vents to prevent solvent from entering these units. Place a large pan under the engine to catch waste. With the engine cowling removed, spray or brush the engine with solvent or a mixture of solvent and degreaser, as desired.
Page 160
ARROW 11 The airplane should be washed with a mild soap and water. Harsh abrasive or alkaline soaps or detergents used on painted or plastic surfaces could make scratches or cause corrosion of metal surfaces. Cover areas where cleaning solution could cause damage. To wash the airplane, the following procedure may be used: Flush away loose dirt with water.

ARROW 11 LANDING GEAR SERVICE The main lmding gear uses Cleveland Aircraft Products wheels and Cleveland single disc tubes. The nose wheel uses a Cleveland Aircraft Products 5.00 wheel with a 5.00 5, four-ply rating, type 111 tire with tube Wheels are removed by taking off the hub cap, cotter pin, axle nut, and the two bolts holding the brake segment in place.
Page 163
ARROW The spinner and backing plate should be cleaned and inspected frequently for cracks. The propeller should be inspected before each flight for nicks, scratches, and corrosion. If found, they should be taken care of as soon as possible by a rated mechanic, because nicks and scratches cause areas of increased stress which can cause serious damage or loss of propeller tip.
Page 164
ARROW The operation of the aircraft is approved with anti-icing additive in the fuel. When an anti-icing additive is used, it must meet the specification MIL-1-27686, must be uniformly blended with the fuel while refueling, must not exceed .IS% by volume of the refueled quantity, and to ensure its effectiveness, should be blended at not less than .lo% by volume.
