About the Piper Arrow

The Piper Arrow (PA-28R, also called the Cherokee Arrow) is the retractable-gear, 200-hp member of the PA-28 family. It is the classic complex trainer for the commercial certificate, adding constant-speed prop and retractable gear to the familiar Cherokee handling. Variants include the Arrow II, the longer-body Arrow III, the T-tail Arrow IV, and the Turbo Arrow III/IV with a turbocharged 200-hp engine for better high-altitude cruise. Typical cruise is around 137 knots, faster than any fixed-gear Cherokee.
