All of the required ( FAA regulations) procedures necessary for operation of the airplane are presented. This section provides checklists for all normal operating procedures , usin g a simple action - reaction format , with little emphasis on system operation.
SECTION 4 NORMAL PROCEDURES PA-28-181, ARCHER ill 4.3 AIRSPEEDS FOR SAFE OPERATIONS The following airspeeds are significant to the safe operation of the airplane. They are for standard airplanes flown at gross weight under standard conditions • at sea level. Performance for specific airplanes may vary from published figures depending upon the equipment installed, the condition of the engine, airplane and equipment, atmospheric conditions and piloting technique.
SECTION 4 PA-28-181, ARCHER ill NORMAL PROCEDURES • 4.5 NORMAL PROCEDURES CHECKLIST (continued) 4.5a Preflight Checklists (continued) CAUTION Thejfop position should be noted before boarding the airplane.

Page 141
SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE PA-28-181, ARCHER Ill • (c) Climb The next step in the tlight plan is to determine the necessary climb segment components. The desired cruise pressure altitude and corresponding cruise outside air temperature values are the first variables to be considered in determining the climb components from the Time, Distance and Fuel to Climb graph (Figure 5-17).
Page 142
SECTION 5 PA-28-181, ARCHER ill PERFORMANCE • 5.5 FLIGHT PLANNING EXAMPLE (continued) (d) Descent The descent data will be determjned prior to the cruise data to provide the descent distance for establishing the total cruise distance. Utilizing the cruise pressure altitude and OAT, determine the basic time, distance and fuel for descent (Figure 5-37).
Page 143
SECTION 5 PERFORMANCE PA-28-181, ARCHER III • (e) Cruise Using Lhe total distance to be traveled during the flight, subtract the previously calculated distance to climb and distance Lo descend to establish the total cruise distance. Refer LO the appropriate engine Operator's Manual when selecting the cruise power setting.

7.5 ENGINE AND PROPELLER The ARCHER III is powered by a four-cylinder, direct drive, horizontally opposed fuel injected engine rated at 180 horsepower at 2700 rpm. It is furnished with a starter, 70 ampere 28-volt alt. e rnator, shielded ignition wires, a fuel pump, and a dry, automotive type induction air filter.
Page 188
SECTION7 PA-28-181, ARCHER ill DESCRIPTION & OPERATION INDUCTION SYSTEM The induction system incorporates an Avstar RSA-SAD I type fuel injector. • The injector is based on the principle of differential pressure, which balances air pressure against fuel pressure. The regulated fuel pressure established by the servo valve when applied across a fuel control (jett i ng system) makes the fuel flow proportional to airflow.
