Piper CHEROKEE ARROW 200 User Manual

SECTION Ill CHEROKEE "ARROW"
Normally, the best technique for short and slow landings is to
use full flaps and enough power to maintain the desired appro ach
flight path. The mixture s hould be full ri ch, fuel selector on the
fullest tank, and the electric fuel pump on. The airspeed should be
r ed uced during flare out and contact with the ground should be
made
close to stalling speed . After ground contact, the no se wheel
s hould be held off. As the airplane s lows down, the nose s hould
be eased down a nd the brakes appl i ed. There will be less chance
of skidding the tires if the flaps are r et r ace d before app lying the
brakes. Br aki ng is most effective when back pressure is a ppli ed
to the control wheel, puttin g most of the airp lane we ight on the
ma in wheels without lifting the nose whee l. In high wind condi -
tions, it may be desirable to approach at higher than normal
speeds, it is still desirable to make contact with the runway when
the airplane is approxim3tely at its minimum speed .
STOPPING ENGINE
At the pilot's discretion, the flaps should be raised and the
electric fuel pump turned off. After parking, the radios should be
turned off, the propeller set to increase RPM and th e e ngine th en
stopped by pulling the mixture control to idle cut-off. The throttle
shou ld be left full aft to avoid engine vibration whil e stopping.
Then the ignition and master switches should be turned o ff and
the parking brake
set.
