PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION SECTION 3 PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 3.5 AMPLIFIED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES (GENERAL) The following paragraphs are presented to supply additional information for the purpose of providing the pilot with a more complete understanding of the recommended course of action and probable cause of an emergency situation.
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).
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.
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.
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 3 PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION EMERGENCY PROCEDURES PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II 3.27 OPEN DOOR The cabin door on the Cherokee is double latched, so the chances of its springing open in flight at both the top and side are remote. However, should you forget the upper latch, or not fully engage the side latch, the door may spring partially open.

PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION SECTION 4 PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II NORMAL PROCEDURES 4.7 AMPLIFED NORMAL PROCEDURES (GENERAL) The following paragraphs are provided to supply detailed information and explanations of the normal procedures necessary for the safe operation of the airplane. 4.9 PREFLIGHT CHECK The airplane should be given a thorough preflight and walk-around check.
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.
(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.
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.
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).
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.
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.

AIRPLANE HANDLING, SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE GENERAL This section provides general guidelines relating to the handling, servicing and maintenance of the Cherokee Warrior II. For complete maintenance instructions, refer to the PA-28 Service Manual. WARNING Inspection, maintenance and parts requirements for all non-PIPER approved STC installations are not included in this handbook.
Page 191
Service Letters deal with product improvements and servicing techniques pertaining to the airplane. They are sent to Piper Service Centers and, if necessary, to the latest FAA-registered owners in the U.S. Owners should give careful attention to Service Letter information.

Piper Authorized Service Center or a reputable repair shop. Piper cannot accept responsibility for the continued airworthiness of any aircraft not maintained to these standards, and/or not brought into compliance with applicable Service Bulletins issued by Piper, instructions issued by the engine, propeller, or accessory manufacturers, or Airworthiness Directives issued by the FAA.

SECTION 8 PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION HANDLING, SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II 8.11 ENGINE AIR FILTER The wet-type polyurethane foam air filter must be inspected at least once every fifty hours. Under extremely adverse operating conditions, it may be necessary to inspect the filter more frequently. The filter is disposable and inexpensive and a spare should be kept on hand for a rapid replacement.

SECTION 8 PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION HANDLING, SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II 8.15 LANDING GEAR SERVICE The main landing gears use 6.00 x 6 wheels and the nose gear carries a 5.00 x 5 wheel. All three tires are four-ply rating, type III tires with tubes. (Refer to paragraph 8.23).
Page 200
PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION SECTION 8 PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II HANDLING, SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 8.17 PROPELLER SERVICE The spinner and backing plate should be cleaned and inspected for cracks. Before each flight the propeller should be inspected for nicks, scratches, and corrosion. If found, they should be repaired as soon as possible by a rated mechanic, since a nick or scratch causes an area of increased stress which can lead to serious cracks or the loss of a propeller tip.

Page 219
PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION SECTION 9 PA-28-161, CHEROKEE WARRIOR II SUPPLEMENTS The climb performance is not compromised measurably with the air conditioner operating since the compressor is declutched and the condenser door is retracted, both automatically, when a full throttle position is selected. When the full throttle position is not used or in the event of a malfunction which would cause the compressor to operate and the condenser door to be extended, a decrease in rate of climb of as much as 100 fpm can be expected.
