These procedures are suggested as a course of action for coping with the particularcondition described, but are not a substitutefor sound judgment and common sense.Pilotsshould familiarizethemselves with the procedures in thissection and be prepared to take appropriate action should an given emergency arise.

This isdue to the high air velocitythrough the carburetor venturi and the absorption of heat from thisair by vaporization of the fuel. To avoid this,carburetor preheat isprovided to replace the heat lostby vaporization. Carburetor heat should be full on when carburetor ice is encountered. Adjust mixture for maximum smoothness. 3.31 ENGINE ROUGHNESS Engine roughness is usually due to carburetor icing which isindicated a by drop in RPM, and may be accompanied by a slightloss of airspeed or altitude.Iftoo much ice isallowed to accumulate, restorationof fullpower may not be possible;therefore, prompt action is required. Turn carburetor heat on (See Note). RPM willdecrease slightlyand will increase. Wait for a decrease in roughness engine roughness or an increasein RPM, indicatingiceremoval. Ifno change in approximately one minute,’return the carburetor heat to OFF. Ifthe engine isstill smoothness. rough, adjust the mixture for maximum The engine will run rough iftoo rich or too lean.The electricfuel pump should be switched to ON and the fuel selectorswitched to the other tank to see if fuel contamination is the problem. Check the engine gauges for abnormal readings. if any gauge readings are abnormal, proceed accordingly. Move the magneto switch to L then to R, then back to BOTH. If accordingly. operation is satisfactoryon either magneto, proceed on that magneto at reduced power, with mixture full RICH, to a landing at the firstavailable airport.

NOTE Partialcarburetor heat may be worse than no heat at all,since it may melt part of the ice, which willrefreezein the intake system. When using carburetor heat, therefore,always use full heat, and when ice is removed return the control control to the fullcold position.

The pilot must ensure baggage. that the airplane is loaded within the loading envelope before he makes a takeoff. Misloáding carriesconsequences for any aircraft.An overloaded airplane willnot take off,climb or cruiseas well as a properly loaded one. The airplane heavier the airplane is loaded, the lessclimb performance itwill have. Center of gravity isa determining factor in flightcharacteristics. Ifthe C.G. is too far forward in any airplane, it may be difficultto rotate for takeoff or landiñg. If the C.G. is too far aft,the airplane may rotate prematurely on takeoffor tend to pitch up during climb. Longitudinal stability prematurely be will reduced. This can lead to inadvertent stallsand even spins:and spin recovery becomes approved limit. more difficultas the center of gravity moves aft of the A properly loaded airplane,however, willperform as intended. Before the airplane islicensed,a basic empty weight and C.G. location iscomputed (basicempty weight consistsof the standard empty weight of the airplane plus the optional equipment). Using the basic empty weight and C.G. location,the pilotcan easilydetermine the weight and C.G. position for the loaded airplane by computing the totalweight and moment and then determining whether they are within the approved envelope. determining ISSUED: Page: 6-1-(0) JULY 2, 1979 REPORT: Revision: 9, JUNE 29, 1984 VB-1120 6-1 SECTION WEIGHT 6 AND PIPER BALANCE AIRURAFI CoRPoRAIwr PA-28-181, ARCHER II The basic empty weight and C.G. locationare recorded in the Weight and Balance Data Form (Figure 6-5) and the Weight and Balance Record (Figure 6-7). The current values should always be used. Whenever new equipment is added or any modification work is done, the mechanic responsible for the work isrequired to compute a new basic empty weight and C.G. position and to write these in the Aircraft Log Book and the Weight and Balance Record. ‘The owner should make sure that itisdone. A weight and balance calculationisnecessary in determining how much fuelor baggage can be boarded so as to keep within allowable limits.Check calculationsprior to adding fuel to insure against improper loading. The following pages are forms used in weighing an airplane in production production and in computing basic empty weight, C.G. position,and useful load. Note that the useful load includes usable fuel,baggage, cargo and passengers. Following this is the method for computing takeoff weight and C.G. 6.3 AIRPLANE WEIGHING PROCEDURE At the time of licensing,Piper Aircraft Corporation provides each airplane with the basic empty weight and center of gravity location.This data issupplied by Figure 6-5. The removal or addition of equipment or airplane modifications can affect the basic empty weight and center of gravity. The following is a weighing procedure to determine this basic empty weight and center of gravity location: (a) Preparation (I) Be certainthat allitems checked in the airplaneequipment listare installedin the proper location in the airplane. (2) Remove excessivedirt,grease,moisture,foreign items such as rags and tools from the airplane before weighing. (3) Defuel airplane.Then open allfueldrains untilallremaining fuel is drained. Operate engine on each tank untilall remaining undrainable fuel is used and engine stops.Then add the unusable fuel (2.0 gallons total, 1.0 gallons each wing).

(b) Decide how to change his load if his firstloading is not within the allowable envelope. Heat can warp or ruin the plotterif it is leftin the sunlight.Replacement Replacement plottersmay be purchased from Piper dealersand distributors. The “Basic Empty Weight and Center of Gravity” locationis taken from the Weight and Balance Form (Figure 6-5), the Weight and Balance Record FAA major repairor alteration form. (Figure6-7) or the latest The plotterenables the user to add weights and corresponding moments graphically.The effectof adding or disposing of useful load can easily be seen. The plotter does not cover the situation where cargo is loaded in locationsother than on the seatsor in the baggage compartments. Brief instructionsare given on the plotteritself.To use it,firstplot a point on the grid to locate the basic weight and C.G. location.This can be put on more or less permanently because ftwill not change until airplane is modified. Next, positionthe zero weight end of any one of the loading slots over thispoint.Using a pencil,draw a linealong the slotto the weight which willbe carriedin thatlocation.Then position the zero weight end of the next slotover the end of this line and draw another line representingthe weight which will be located in thissecond position.When allthe loads have been drawn in thismanner, the finalend of the segmented line locatesthe total load and the C.G. position of the airplane for takeoff.

All three wheels use 6.00 x 6, four-ply rating,Type Illtireswith tubes. A spring device isincorporated in the rudder pedal torque tube assembly to provide rudder trim. A bungee in the nose gear steering mechanism reduces steeringeffortand dampens bumps and shocks during taxiing.By using the rudder pedals and brakes the nose gear issteerablethrough a 30 degree arc each side of center.Later aircrafthave the bungee removed from the nose gear steeringmechanism and are steerablethrough a 20 degree arc each side of center, A shimmy dampener isalso included in the nose gear. The three strutsare of the air-oiltype, with a normal extension of 3.25 inches for the nose gear and 4.50 inches for the main gear. The standard brake system consistsof dual toe brakes attached to the rudder pedals and a hand lever and master cylinder located below and behind the leftcenter of the instrument sub-panel.

At least250 pounds of ballastshould be placed on the base of the tailstand before the airplane isjacked up. The hydraulicjacks should be placed under thejack points on the bottom of the wing and the airplanejacked up untilthe tailskid isat the rightheight to attach the tailstand. After the tailstand isattached and the ballastadded, jacking may be continued untilthe airplane is at the height desired. The steeringarms from the rudder pedals to the nose wheel are adjusted at the nose wheel by turning the threaded rod end bearings in or out. Adjustment is normally accomplished at the forward end of the rods and should be done in such a way that the nose wheel isin linewith the fore and aft axis of the plane when the rudder pedals and rudder are centered. Alignment of the nose wheel can be checked by pushing the airplane back and forth with the rudder centered to determine that the plane follows a perfectlystraightline.The turning arc of the nose wheel is30.0° + 2° in either directionand is limited by stops on the bottom of the forging. The rudder pedal arm stops should be carefully adjusted so that the pedal arms contact the stops just after the rudder hits its stops. This guarantees that the rudder will be allowed to move 8.17 PROPELLER through itsfulltravel. SERVICE spinner and backing plate should be frequently cleaned and inspected for cracks. Before each flightthe propeller should be inspected for nicks,scratches,and corrosion.Iffound, they should be repaired as soon as possible by a rated mechanic, since a nick or scratch causes an area of increased stresswhich can lead to seriouscracks or the lossof a propellertip. The The back face of the blades should be painted when necessary with flatblack paint to retard glare. To prevent corrosion, the surface should be cleaned and waxed periodically.

The auxiliarypump ismounted on the forward sideof the firewalland connects to the primary system at a manifold downstream of the vacuum regulator.Isolationof the primary and auxiliarysystems from each other is accomplished by check valves on each side of the manifold. The primary switch is located on the regulator and senses vacuum system vacuum supplied to the gyros. A control switch (labeledAUX VAC) forthe auxiliarypump system is located on the right side of the instrument panel near the vacuum suction gage. The switch button incorporates two annunciator lightsectionslabeled VAC OFF and AUX ON. The VAC OFF sectioniscontrolledby a vacuum •switch in the primary pneumatic system and illuminatesan amber light when the engine driven pump isinoperativeor when the system vacuum falls below the switch activationlevel.The AUX ON sectioniscontrolled by a vacuum switch on the manifold and illuminates a blue light when the auxiliarypump isoperating and creatinga vacuum in the system. When the auxiliarypump isactivatedat high altitude,or ifthe system has developed air leaks,the AUX ON lightmay failto illuminate.This indicatesthat the ON switch activationleveleven system vacuum is stillbelow the AUX though the auxiliary pump is operating. The annunciator lightsdo not incorporate a press-to-testfeature, if the lights do not illuminate as expected, check for burned out lamps, replacewith MS25237-330 bulbs and retestthe system. System electrical protection is provided by a 20 amp circuitbreaker in the pump motor circuitand a 5 amp circuitbreaker in the annunciator light circuit.The breakers are mounted on the circuitbreaker panel.

G(b)The best speed for takeoff isabout 53 KIAS under normal conditions. conditions. Trying to pull the airplane off the ground at too low an airspeed decreases the controllabilityof the airplane in the event of airspeed engine failure. (c) Flaps may be lowered at airspeedsup to 102 KIAS. To reduce flap operating loads,itisdesirableto have the airplaneat a slower speed before extending the flaps.The flapstep willnot support weight if the flaps are in any extended position.The flaps must be placed in position before they willlock and support weight on the the “UP” step. (d) Before attempting to reset any circuitbreaker, allow a two to five minute cooling off period. (e) Before starting the engine, check that all radio switches, light switches and the pitotheat switch are in the off positionso as not to create an overloaded condition when the starteris engaged.
