DESCR/OPERATION

7.29 BAGGAGE AREA

The 24 cubic foot baggage compartment, located aft of the seats, has a
weight capacity of 200 pounds. This compartment is loaded and unloaded
through a separate 22 x 20 inch baggage door, and the compartment is
accessible during flight. Tie-down straps are provided and they should be used
at all times. The baggage compartment door and passenger door use the same
key.
It is the pilot's responsibility to be sure when
baggage is loaded that the airplane C.G. falls
within the allowable C.G. range. (See Weight
and Balance Section.)

7.31 FINISH

The standard exterior finish is painted with acrylic enamel. To keep the
finish attractive, economy size spray cans of touch-up paint are available from
Piper Dealers.
7.33 STALL WARNING
An approaching stall is indicated by a stall warning horn which is
activated between five and ten knots above stall speed. Mild airframe buffeting
and gentle pitching may also precede the stall. Stall speeds are shown on the
Stall Speed vs Angle of Bank graph in Section 5.
The stall warning indication consists of a continuous sounding horn
located behind the instrument panel. The stall warning horn has a different
sound from that of the gear warning horn which has a 90 cycles per minute
beeping sound.
The stall warning horn is activated by two lift detectors on the leading
edge of the left wing, outboard of the engine nacelle. The inboard detector
activates the horn when the flaps are in the 25 and 40 degree positions, the
outboard when the flaps are in positions less than 10°. A squat switch in the
stall warning system does not allow the units to be activated on the ground.
