NORMAL PROCEDURES
4.31 STOPPING ENGINE (4.5m) (continued)
The electric fuel pump, air conditioner, radios, and all electrical switches
should be turned OFF. Set the propeller in the full INCREASE position. Stop
the engine by disengaging the mixture control lock and pulling the mixture
control back to idle cut-off. The throttle should be left full aft to avoid engine
vibration while stopping. Then the magneto, alternator, and battery master
switches must be turned OFF.

4.33 MOORING (4.5n)

If necessary, the airplane should be moved on the ground with the aid of
the nose wheel tow bar provided with each airplane and secured behind the
rear seats. The flaps are locked when in the UP position and should be left
retracted. The aileron and stabilator controls should be secured by looping the
safety belt through the control wheel and pulling it snug.
Tiedowns can be secured to rings provided under each wing and to the
tail skid. The rudder is held in position by its connections to the nose wheel
steering and normally does not have to be secured.

4.35 STALLS

The stall characteristics of the Arrow are conventional. 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.
The gross weight stalling speed of the Arrow with power off and full flaps
is 55 KIAS. With the flaps up this speed is increased 5 KTS. Loss of altitude
during stalls can be as great as 400 feet, depending on configuration and power.
The stall warning system is inoperative with the
battery master switch OFF.
During preflight, the stall warning system should be checked by turning
the battery master switch ON, lifting the detector and checking to determine if
the horn is actuated. The battery master switch should be returned to the OFF
position after the check is complete.
