10.1 GENERAL
This section provides operating tips of particular value in the operation
of Archer III.
10.3 OPERATING TIPS
(a) Learn to trim for takeoff so that only a very light back pressure on the
control wheel is required to lift the airplane off the ground.
(b) The best speed for takeoff is about 57 KIAS under normal conditions.
•
Trying to pull the airplane off the ground at loo low an airspeed
decreases the controllability of the airplane in the event of engine
failure.
(c) Flaps may be lowered at airspeeds up to l02 KIAS. To reduce flap
operating loads, it is desirable to have the airplane at a slower speed
before extending the flaps. The flap step will not support weight if
the flaps are in any extended position. The flaps must be placed in the
"UP" position before they will lock and support weight on the step.
(d) The pilot should only reset a tripped circuit breaker if the system/
component is considered essential for safety of flight. Prior lo resetting
the circuit breaker, wait at least one minute and verify there is no smoke
or burning smell. If the circuit breaker opens a second time, leave the
circuit breaker out. Have a maintenance inspection performed prior
to resetting the circuit breaker. Do not reset any nonessential circuit
breakers in flight.
•
(e ) Before starting the engine, check that all radio switches, light switches
and the pitot heat switch are in the off position so as not
overloaded condition when the starter is engaged.
