    SECTION 3 PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION EMERGENCY PROCEDURES PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II 3.11 ENGINE POWER LOSS IN FLIGHT Complete engine power loss is usually caused by fuel flow interruption and power will be restored shortly after fuel flow is restored. If power loss occurs at a low altitude, the first step is to prepare for an emergency landing (refer to paragraph 3.13).
  • Page 48: Fire In Flight

    PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION SECTION 3 PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 3.15 FIRE IN FLIGHT The presence of fire is noted through smoke, smell and heat in the cabin. It is essential that the source of the fire be promptly identified through instrument readings, character of the smoke, or other indications since the action to be taken differs somewhat in each case.
  • Page 49: Loss Of Fuel Pressure

    SECTION 3 PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION EMERGENCY PROCEDURES PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II 3.19 LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE If loss of fuel pressure occurs, turn “ON” the electric fuel pump and check that the fuel selector is on a full tank. If the problem is not an empty tank, land as soon as practical and have the engine-driven fuel pump and fuel system checked.
  • Page 50: Spin Recovery

    PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION SECTION 3 PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II EMERGENCY PROCEDURES For airplanes with separate BATT and ALT switch operations, turn the BATT switch OFF and the ammeter should decrease. Turn the BATT switch ON and continue to monitor the ammeter. If the alternator output does not decrease within 5 minutes, turn the BATT switch OFF and land as soon as practical.

    SECTION 4 PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION NORMAL PROCEDURES PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II Check all of the fuel tank vents to make sure they are open. Next, a complete check of the landing gear. Check the main gear shock struts for proper inflation.
  • Page 62: Startingengine

    (d) Starting Engine With External Power Source An optional feature called the Piper External Power (PEP) allows the operator to use an external battery to crank the engine without having to gain access to the airplane’s battery.
  • Page 63 SECTION 4 PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION NORMAL PROCEDURES PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II CAUTION Care should be exercised because if the ship’s battery has been depleted, the external power supply can be reduced to the level of the ship’s battery. This can be tested by turning the master switch ON momentarily while the starter is engaged.
  • Page 64: Warm-Up

    PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION SECTION 4 PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II NORMAL PROCEDURES 4.15 WARM-UP Warm-up the engine at 800 to 1200 RPM for not more than two minutes in warm weather and four minutes in cold. Avoid prolonged idling at low RPM, as this practice may result in fouled spark plugs.
  • Page 65: Before Takeoff

    SECTION 4 PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION NORMAL PROCEDURES PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II 4.21 BEFORE TAKEOFF All aspects of each particular takeoff should be considered prior to executing the takeoff procedure. Turn “ON” the master switch and check and set all of the flight instruments as required. Check the fuel selector to make sure it is on the proper tank (fullest).
  • Page 66: Climb

    PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION SECTION 4 PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II NORMAL PROCEDURES obstacle clearance is attained. After the obstacle has been cleared, accelerate to 79 KIAS and then slowly retract the flaps. A short field takeoff with no obstacle is accomplished with no flaps and applying full power before brake release, lift off at 50 KIAS and accelerate to best rate of climb speed, 79 KIAS.
  • Page 67: Descent

    PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION NORMAL PROCEDURES PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II will have approximately one and one half hours of fuel remaining if the tanks were full at takeoff. The second tank will contain approximately one half hour of fuel. Do not run tanks completely dry in flight.
  • Page 68 PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION SECTION 4 PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II NORMAL PROCEDURES The mixture control should be kept in full “RICH” position to insure maximum acceleration if it should be necessary to open the throttle again. Carburetor heat should not be applied unless there is an indication of carburetor icing, since the use of carburetor heat causes a reduction in power which may be critical in case of a go-around.
  • Page 69 SECTION 4 PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION NORMAL PROCEDURES PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II 4.35 STALLS The stall characteristics are conventional. An approaching stall is indicated by a stall warning horn which is activated between five and ten KTS above stall speed. Mild airframe buffeting and gentle pitching may also precede the stall.

  • Page 76 SECTION 5 PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION PERFORMANCE PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II Total Flight Time The total flight time is determined by adding the time to climb, the time to descend and the cruise time. Remember! The time values taken from the climb and descent graphs are in minutes and must be converted to hours before adding them to the cruise time.
