SECTION III CHEROKEE"ARROW"
The takeoff technique is conventional for the Cherokee Arrow. The tab
should be set slightly aft of neutral, with the exact setting determined by the
loading of the aircraft. Allow the airplane to accelerate to 60 to 70 mph, then
ease back on the wheel enough to let the airplane fly from the ground.
Short Field, Obstacle Clearance:
Lower flaps to 25° (second notch), accelerate a ircraft to 60 to
65
mph
and ease back on the wheel to rotate. After breaking ground, accelerate to
best angle of climb speed, 80 mph, select gear UP*, and climb past obstacle.
Continue climb and accelerate to best rate of climb speed, 95 mph and
slowly retract the flaps .
Short Field, No Obstacles:
Lower flaps to 25° (second notch), accelerate aircraft to 60 to
65
mph
and ease back on the wheel to rotate. After breaking ground, accelerate to 80
mph, select gear UP* and continue climb while accelerating to best ra te of
climb speed,
95 mph
and slowly retract the flaps while climbing out.
Soft Field, Obstacle Clearance:
Lower flaps to 25° (second notch) accelerate aircraft, pull nose gear off
as soon as possible and lift off at lowest possible airspeed. Accelerate just
above the ground to best angle of climb speed, 80 mph, select gear UP* and
climb past obstacle clearance height, continue climb while accelerating to
best rate of climb
speed, 95
mph and slowly retract the flaps.
Soft Field, No Obstacle:
Proceed as above after gear retraction, continue climb at best rate of
climb speed 95 mph and slowly retract the flaps .
*During climb below speeds of 85 mph on a ircraft equipped with the backup
I
gea~
extender, hold the emergency gear lever in the override up position
until the system no longer commands the gear down. This will occur at
approximate airspeeds of 85 mph lAS at sea lever to I 00 mph lAS at 10,000
feet, with a straight line variation between.
