Jack, In a previous post, it sounded like you fly near Sacramento. If you need any advice on shops for various types of work, let me know. I used to have an Arrow, I now have a Mooney. The two are VERY similar. The only noticable difference to the pilot is the wing. The Arrow has the easy going Piper wing and the Mooney has the laminar wing. Yes, I'm in the Sacramento area. Currently based at MCC but plan to be at LHM as soon as a hanger opens up. Shop recommendations greatly appreciated.

you turn on the boost pump on landing? Are you sure your suppose to do that? Yes, part of the pre-landing checklist for non-turbo version. -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL-IA Student Student Arrow Owner, N2104T "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail) |

I have not have problems with thermals making me float down the runway
Matt Barrow wrote: "Turbo Arrow" wrote in message ... I have 2 ways of flying my arrow, in the winter I come in with no flaps and summer I use full flaps because of the change in air density,if I used full flaps in the winter I would float sometimes More likely you would float during the summer from the thermals associated with ground heating. |

yes I have the optional electric primer and hi/lo rocker.
I flew a normally aspirated arrow a couple of times that did not have the electric primer and it also did not require the boost pump, but all I have flown are arrow III's, the older ones may be different. john smith wrote: It depends on the Arrow and which fuel primer system you have. Do you have the optional system with the primer button on the panel and a HI/LO fuel pump rocker switch in the bank of rocker switches with the MASTER? Or, do you have another arrangement? Turbo Arrow wrote: you turn on the boost pump on landing? Are you sure your suppose to do that? In my turbo arrow boost is not required for landing or take off, you can use it on low boost to reduce vapor on hot days prior to take off but other then that its not touched unless there is an emergency. Thats in the t-arrow, I would think the normally aspirated one would be the same. |

yes I know, maybe I should have said MP pressure instead of power, but I

I was not talking about landings, I am talking about comming down from say,
12,000 ft. As I said, this is in the book, not something I made up off the top of my head. john smith wrote: kage wrote: just a note, on decents, instead of reducign power to come down, you can just pull the prop back Pulling the prop back IS reducing power. I was taught not push the prop forward until I had the runway made. (Pulling back reduces RPM, pushing it forward increases RPM) Do you know how your prop "fails" when the engine stops pumping oil to the governor? |

I see its a 1971, is that an Arrow II ?
Its a nice looking plane BTW Jack Allison wrote: Turbo Arrow wrote: you turn on the boost pump on landing? Are you sure your suppose to do that?

Something else you may want to consider: in cruise, rather than flying at 2400/24", find another power combination that gives the same percentage of power but uses lower RPM / higher manifold pressure. It yields noticably less noise and makes for a more pleasant ride. I wasn't paying attention... we're not talking about a Turbo Arrow, are we? If we are, forget I said anything about 24". Less RPM still means less noise. Your passengers will appreciate it, as will your wife when you're 50 and saying "what?" all the time. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN VE |

I knew you knew, but this is "Usenet" and I just had to harangue you! In a
crew situation being very succinct is important. Plus others might be afraid to pull the prop back due to some OWTs.
