Piper CHEROKEE 180 - Engine Power Loss Procedures

CHEROKEE
180 SECTION III
MOORING
The
Cherokee
should be moved on the
ground
with the aid of the
nose
wheel
tow-bar
provided
with
each
plane
and secured
in
the
baggage compartment.
Tie
down ropes
may
be secured
to rings
provided
under each
wing and
to the
tail
skid. The aileron and
stabilator
controls should be secured by
looping
the seat belt
through
the control
wheel and pulling
it
tight.
The rudder
is held in position
by
its
connections to
the nose wheel steering
and normally
does not
have
to be
secured.
The flaps
are
locked when
in
the
full
up position
and
should
be left
retracted.
WEIGHT
AND BALANCE
It is the
responsibility of the owner and
pilot
to determine
that
the
airplane
remains within the allowable
weight vs.
center of gravity
envelope
while in flight.
For
weight and
balance data
see the
Airplane
Flight Manual and Weight
and Balance
form supplied with
each
airplane.
OPERATING
TIPS
The
following
Operating
Tips are of
particular value
in
the
operation of
the Cherokee.
1. Learn to trim for
take-off
so that
only
a very
light
back
pressure
on
the
wheel
is
required
to lift the airplane
off
the ground.
2.
The
best
speed for
take-off
is about 60
MPH
under normal
conditions.
Trying
to pull
the
airplane off the ground at too low
an
airspeed decreases
the
controllability
of the
airplane in event of
engine
failure.
3. Flaps
may
be
lowered
at
airspeeds
up
to 115
MPH.
To
reduce
flap
operating
loads, it is
desirable
to have the airplane
at a
slower
speed
before
extending
the
flaps.
4. Before
attempting
to
reset
any circuit
breaker,
allow
a
two to
five
minute
cooling
off
period.
