relay. If ammeter continues to indicate no output, maintain mini-
mum electrical load and terminate flight as soon as practical.
Maintenance on the alternator should prove to be a minor
factor. Should service be required, contact the local Piper Dealer.
HEATING AND VENTILATING SYSTEM
Heat for the cabin interior and the defroster system is pro-
vided by a heater muff attached to the exhaust system. The
amount of heat desired can be regulated with the controls located
on the far right side of the instrument panel.
Fresh air inlets are located in the leading edge of the wing
at the intersection of the tapered and straight s e c t i o n s . A large
adjustable outlet is located on the side of the cabin near the
floor at each seat location. Cabin air is exhausted through an
outlet located below the rear seat.

CABIN FEATURES

The instrument panel of the Cherokee is designed to ac-
commodate the customary advanced flight instruments and the
normally required power plant instruments. The Artifical Horizon
and Directional Gyro are vacuum operated through use of a
vacuum pump installed on the engine, while the Turn and Bank
instrument is electrically operated. Above the Attitude Gyro are
two lights which indicate high or low vacuum. A natural separa-
tion of the flight group and the power group is provided by placing
the flight group in the upper instrument panel and the power
group in the center and lower instrument panels.
The cabin interior includes a pilot storm window, two sun
visors, ash trays, two map pockets, and pockets on the backs of
each front seat. The front s e a t s are adjustable fore and aft for
pilot-passenger comfort and e a s e of entry and exit. Arm rests
are also provided for the front s e a t s .
The 24 cubic foot baggage area may be reached from the
cabin or through a large 20 x 22 inch outside door.
