SECTION 10
OPERA TING TIPS
This section provides operating tips of particular value in the operation
of the Arrow.
10.3 OPERATING TIPS
(a) Learn to trim for takeoff so that only a very light back pressure on
the control wheel is required to lift the airplane off the ground.
(b) The best speed for takeoff is about 70 KIAS under normal condi-
tions. Trying to pull the airplane off the ground at too Iowan air-
speed decreases the controllability of the airplane in the event of
engine failure.
(c) Flaps may be lowered at airspeeds up to /03 KIAS. To reduce flap
operating loads, it is desirable to have the airplane at a slower speed
before extending the flaps. The flap step will not support weight if
the flaps are in any extended position. The flaps must be placed in
the UP position before they will lock and support weight on the
step.
(d) Before attempting to reset any circuit breaker, allow a two to five
minute cooling off period.
(e) Before starting the engine, check that all radio switches, light
switches and the pitot heat switch are in the off position so as not to
create an overloaded condition when the starter is engaged.
(f)
Strobe lights should not be operating when flying through overcast
and clouds. since reflected light can produce spatial disorientation.
Do not operate strobe lights when in close proximity to ground,
such as during taxiing. takeoff. or landing.
