well respected Piper Arrow has been produced since 1967 and has seen a
variety of airframe
configurations from the old ‘Hershey Bar’ or slab wing to the now familiar
taper wing, from conventional tail to T-tail and now back to conventional or
what some call ‘straight’ tail. In
the early days it sported a 180HP normally aspirated engine but later
variants saw a 200HP
non-turbocharged Lycoming or a 200HP turbocharged Continental, the former
being popular with flying schools and new PPLs and the latter spending most
of their time as high altitude, high speed tourers for people who wanted to
go fast and didn’t mind the use of an oxygen
mask in the thin-air levels. The
subject aircraft, G-FROS, was born in 2005 and shows the very latest
in Piper’s Glass Panel cockpit with the Avidyne Entegra flat panel displays
that handle Primary and Multi-functions plus Engine Indication and Lean
Assist. This
aircraft is currently in private hands in the UK but the more forward
thinking flying schools, particularly those in the USA, are now buying
Avidyne equipped Arrows for advanced training as they show students a cockpit
more akin to their eventual professional workplace. G-FROS is IFR equipped and, for those who follow
fashion, it also has CMAX Electronic Flight Charts that display on the
Avidyne Multi Function Display. This
aircraft also has a couple of ubiquitous Garmin GNS430’s, the usual IFR
equipment, a Collision Avoidance System and a Stormscope to give it that
final ‘wow-factor’. There
are a few things it is not capable of; it cannot make a cup of tea, it cannot
answer the telephone and it cannot control the Lottery numbers, but nothing
in life is perfect. Whether
you are a private individual looking to move to a complex type with
state-of-the art gizmos or a Flying School that wants to offer the best
available, this aircraft has much to offer. Please
call and I will arrange a viewing. You can check out the full spec sheet
