Spin Recovery - Piper WARRIOR III PA-28-161 Pilot Operating Handbook

PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION
PA-28-161, WARRIOR III

3.25 SPIN RECOVERY

Intentional spins are prohibited in this airplane. If a spin is inadvertently
entered, immediately apply full rudder opposite to the direction of rotation.
Move the control wheel full forward while neutralizing the ailerons. Move
the throttle to IDLE. When the rotation stops, neutralize the rudder and ease
back on the control wheel as required to smoothly regain a level flight
attitude.
3.27 OPEN DOOR
The cabin door on the Cherokee is double latched, so the chance of
it springing open in flight at both the top and side are remote. However,
should you forget the upper latch, or not fully engage the side latch, the door
may spring partially open. This will usually happen at takeoff or soon after-
ward. A partially open door will not affect normal flight characteristics, and
a normal landing can be made with the door open.
If both upper and side latches are open, the door will trail slightly open,
and airspeed will be reduced slightly.
To close the door in flight, slow the airplane to 89 KIAS, close the cabin
vents and open the storm window. If the top latch is open, latch it. If the side
latch is open, pull on the arm rest while moving the latch handle to the
latched position. If both latches are open, close the side latch then the top
latch.
3.29 CARBURETOR ICING
Under certain moist atmospheric conditions at temperatures of -5°C
to 20°C, it is possible for ice to form in the induction system, even in
summer weather. This is due to the high air velocity through the carburetor
venturi and absorption of heat from this air by vaporization of the fuel.
To avoid this, carburetor preheat is provided to replace the heat lost by
vaporization. Carburetor heat should be full on when carburetor ice is
encountered. Adjust mixture for maximum smoothness.
