17 PA-28R-201 ARROW Expanded Checklist The purpose of the expanded checklist is to assist a pilot new to the Piper PA-28 Arrow. The format for the following pages allows for expanded explanation of what the pilot will be looking for and how a system is tested. Often a single response implies that several items have been done and completed. The checklist with exception is designed to verify that something has been done or checked or a switch selected. Therefore, it is a Read and Verify list. Therefore, the pilot is expected to complete a flow of items when triggered by a phase of flight. Once the procedural flow is complete, call for the appropriate checklist, then respond to each challenge with the correct response, as verification. There are three (3) exceptions. The SAFETY CHECK, ENGINE CHECK, and SECURING CHECK are Read and Do checklist. The SAFETY CHECK is Read and Do for safety reasons. The ENGINE CHECK is Read and Do because of the depth of test and checks performed. Finally, the SECURING CHECK is Read and Do because of the randomness of the activities performed. HSU-AVN Page 3-1 Piper Arrow Student Handbook (REV 0) Expanded Checklist

18 SAFETY CHECK (Read & Do) All Electrical Switches OFF Scan the entire instrument panel and verify all switches are off. Verify that the Avionics switch is off to protect the radios. Magnetos OFF, KEY REMOVED Verify that the Switch is in the OFF position and the key is removed. Place the key on the glare shield as further confirmation that the magneto switch is OFF. Control Lock REMOVE Place the control lock in the back seat or the cargo area. Gear Lever DOWN Battery Switch ON Placing the Battery Switch on powers the PFD/MFD it takes a minute until the MFD comes on and you must wait till the message that will activate the MFD screen. Gear DOWN, 3 GREEN Check for three green indicator lights to show the lights are working properly. Fuel Qty CHECKED (REFUEL) Check the fuel quantity indicators and determine if an adequate amount of fuel is on board for the intended flight. It is HSU policy that the aircraft always has a minimum of half tanks for local flights and maximum allowable for cross country. Make note of the exact position of the fuel indicator to check against the visual check of the fuel during the exterior preflight. The fuel tank has tabs that can be viewed with the fuel caps off. Fuel at the tabs means there is 25 gallons useable in that tank. Lights (night) CHECKED It is permissible to leave the Battery Switch ON while outside the aircraft to check the light. Battery Switch OFF Exterior Check PERFORM The exterior check is found in the QRH and in the abbreviated checklist. Use this checklist as a read and do to perform the exterior preflight inspection of the airplane. Piper Arrow Student Handbook Page 3-2 HSU-AVN Expanded Checklist (REV 0)

19 PREFLIGHT CHECK (Read & Verify) Squawk Book CHECKED AC Verify that you have the correct AC squawk book. Check if there are any open write ups and determine if the aircraft is airworthy and safe for flight. Verify the status of the VOR check for IFR flight. Weight & Balance COMPLETE This should have been completed in the planning phase. A new weight and balance must be computed if any factors affecting the outcome have changed. Performance Data COMPLETE Takeoff, landing, and in-flight performance data must be completed with the current information. Aircraft Documents PRESENT Pilots Operating Handbook (POH), Airworthiness Certificate, and Registration Certificate must be in the aircraft. Hobbs RECORDED Exterior Check COMPLETE Fuel FLIGHT PLAN FUEL ON BOARD Verify that the fuel on board meets all the requirements for the flight. Further, verify that the aircraft has the minimum fuel on board per HSU Flight Operations Manual (FOM). (Minimum ½ tanks) It would be a good time to discuss the time until burnout and the time that you would expect to be on the ground. Parking Brake SET Pull brake handle and press button and the brakes will be set. The handle should remain in the set position. Circuit Breakers (BOTH) CHECKED All circuit breakers must be set unless collard by maintenance. It remains the pilot s responsibility to verity that all systems required for flight are available and working. Fuel Selector FULLEST (L/R) SELECTED The Fuel Selector should be selected to the tank with the most fuel. A plan should be in place to determine when the fuel will be switched from one tank to the other. Pitot & Static System DRAINED Two outlets are located on the side panel beside the pilot s seat. You will not be able to see the outlets. You will have to move the seat aft and run your hand beside the seat in line with the bottom of the fuel selector to feel them. Press each outlet in for a few seconds to drain the lines of any moisture. (continued on next page) HSU-AVN Page 3-3 Piper Arrow Student Handbook (REV 0) Expanded Checklist

20 Flaps DEGREES Verify that the flaps have been returned to 0 degrees after the walk around is complete. Trim SET, NEUTRAL Seatbelts (BOTH) FASTENED As part of the Passenger briefing verify that all seatbelts are fastened. Pax/ Crew Briefing COMPLETE Brief the Passengers on the requirement to wear the seatbelt for all takeoffs and landings. Assist in buckling as needed. Further, brief the Pax on the sterile flight deck rules. Brief on how to exit the aircraft in case of an emergency and where the fire extinguisher is and how to use it. The purpose of the crew briefing is to establish and discuss the conduct of the flight. It is during this briefing that the PIC will be established and also who will be the PF (pilot flying) and who will be the PM (pilot monitoring will be. Discuss the effects of the weather on the flight and any and all modifications to the flight that are needed. Piper Arrow Student Handbook Page 3-4 HSU-AVN Expanded Checklist (REV 0)

21 BEFORE START CHECK (Read & Verify) Battery Switch ON Alternator Switch ON Beacon/Strobe Lights ON The three position switch labeled Strobe Light should be selected to the UP position. This will turn on the strobe lights on each wing and the beacon light on the tail. Nav Lights OFF (ON) Navigation Lights are required to be on between sunset through sunrise. Fuel Pump ON Check for an audible sound to ensure the fuel pump is working. Ramp (BOTH) CLEAR Visually check around the aircraft to confirm that the area is clear for an engine start. State CLEAR or CLEAR PROP loud enough to announce to anyone around the aircraft that the engine is about to be started. HSU-AVN Page 3-5 Piper Arrow Student Handbook (REV 0) Expanded Checklist

22 BEFORE TAXI CHECK (Read & Verify) Oil Pressure CHECKED If pressure is not indicated within 30 seconds after start shut down engine and investigate. The oil pressure indication on the PFD is removed 3 minutes after the engine oil pressure is outside the warning (red) range. The oil pressure indication is always available on the Engine Page of the MFD. Alternator CHECKED Verify that the alternator is charging the battery. Then Alternator is 14 volts and the Battery is a 12 volts. The Volt meter should show greater than 12 volts as an indication that the alternator is providing a charge to the battery. Verify that the Alternator is charging the battery on the engine page of the MFD. Altimeters (BOTH). IN, FT The PIC will set the altimeters and both pilots will verify that the altimeters are reading field elevation (+/- 75 feet maximum difference). By reading the altitude the pilot is verifying that the altimeter setting was set correctly and that the altimeter is reading correctly. Heading (BOTH) DEGREES, NORMAL Verify that the heading is available before taxing for directional assistance. Stating Normal confirms the Compass indicates level and the fluid level should be full. Flight Plan SET, ACTIVATED Load the flight plan in the GPS. If the flight is local, load the departure airport in the GPS. Fuel Pump OFF Turn the electric fuel pump off and check the fuel flow/pressure gage to verify that the engine driven pump is operating Piper Arrow Student Handbook Page 3-6 HSU-AVN Expanded Checklist (REV 0)

Radios SET Set up the communication radios to the frequencies. Set up the navigation radios to the proper frequencies. Flight Instruments (BOTH) CHECKED During turns (S turns if needed) verify that the HI and the Compass are turning correctly and in the right direction and rate. The Rate of Turn indicator should show a turn in the correct direction and the skid/slip indicator moves in the opposite direction. The AI should maintain level flight. Flight Controls FREE AND CORRECT Check both for freedom of movement and correct deflection of control surfaces in response to control wheel movement. STBY ATT IND TEST & CHECKED Press the test button until the amber test light starts flashing then release. The test of the STBY ATT will take about 1 minute. During the test the amber light blinks and you should have a steady green light above the word test. If the green light goes out and is replaced with a red light at any time during the test the backup battery pack is bad or needs charging. IFR flight is not permitted. AHRS ALIGNMENT COMPLETE Alignment is complete when all messages are complete and you observe the message alignment complete. If there are no messages and the PFD appears normal this means you missed the alignment complete message. There is always a message during alignment when all messages are removed the PFD/MFD are aligned and ready for use. HSU-AVN Page 3-7 Piper Arrow Student Handbook (REV 0) Expanded Checklist

24 ENGINE CHECK (Read & Do) Parking Brake SET Power RPM Verify that the engine is operating in the normal range before doing the Engine Check. Magnetos CHECKED Look for a maximum drop of 175 rpm per magneto and a maximum difference of 50 rpm. Alternate Air CHECKED Select Alternate Air ON. The engine intake air now comes from the engine compartment has less ram effect and is hotter therefore; it causes a drop in RPM. Verify drop in RPM and return the Alternate Air lever to OFF. Prop EXERCISE/ FULL The Prop control should be moved through its complete range to check for proper operation and then placed in the full INCREASE rpm for takeoff. Do not allow a drop of more than 500 RPM during the check. In cold weather or on the first flight of the day, the propeller should be exercised at least three times. Proper operation of the tachometer, oil pressure, and manifold pressure gauges can be checked during the exercising of the propeller. Engine Instruments NORMAL The engine should be running smooth and all engine indications should be normal. Alternator CHARGING Indication of charging is verified by observing a system voltage of > then 12.5 volts anything less and the LO BUS VOLTAGE Annunciator will illuminate. This can occur under normal operations if the engine RPM is low. Perform this check on first flight of the day or IFR Power RPM Alternator OFF STBY Alternator ON STBY Alternator Annunciator Lt ON The STBY ALTR ON Annunciator light will illuminate steady. ELEC Load >20 Amps STBY ALTR LT FLASHING Increase electrical load above 20 amps if below and observe the STBY ALTR ON light is flashing indicating a steady load above the 20 amp maximum continuous output. Generally normal operations will produce an electrical load above 20 amps. Piper Arrow Student Handbook Page 3-8 HSU-AVN Expanded Checklist (REV 0)

25 (continued on next page) Reduce ELEC < 20 Amps STBY ALTR LT ON Reduce electrical load and verify that the STBY ALTR ON Annunciator light is steady. Consider turning off lights, ventilation fan, and electric fuel pump if still on etc. Electrical RESTORE All electrical equipment turned off to reduce electrical load to less than 20 amps should be turned back on. Alternator ON STBY ALTR OFF Alternator CHECKED Re-verify the electrical load on the ammeter, and the Volt meter.

27 CLIMB CHECK (Read and Verify) Gear UP Verify the Gear Switch is in the Up position. All lights out condition indicates the Gear is Up. Flaps DEGREES If short or soft takeoff procedures were used verify that the flaps have been retracted to 0 degrees. Climb Power SET, Suggested Climb power is 26 inches MP and 2600 Rpm. This should not be set until 500 AGL. If maximum climb performance is required Piper states full power must be used. (Full Throttle and 2700 Rpm) Airspeed CRUISE CLIMB, 104 Once climb power has been set and the aircraft is at least 500 AGL, transition to the cruise climb airspeed. This increased climb speed provides better engine cooling, less engine wear, reduced fuel consumption, lower cabin noise level, and better forward visibility. Fuel Pump OFF Monitor fuel flow to ensure proper engine driven fuel pump operation. CRUISE CHECK (Read and Verify) Recog or Landing Lights OFF The FAA recommends that all pilots comply with Operation Lights On which calls for recog or landing lights to be on when below 10,000 feet and within 10 NM of the airport. Keep the recog or landing lights on until one or the other is accomplished. Use recog lights during the day and landing lights at night. Power SET, Refer to the Cruise Power charts: Until further guidance set 65% Best Power for cruise. Note: Only use 2200 Rpm if the MP is 22 inches. Mixture (Lean at or above 3000 ft X-C only) LEAN Best Power settings require 100 degrees rich of peak EGT. Use the lean assist feature on the MFD to properly lean the mixture.

33 HENDERSON STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF AVIATION Standard Operating Procedures-Amplified (SOPA) For the Piper PA-28R-201

34

35 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES AMPLIFIED (SOPA) In developing standards for flying an aircraft the goal is to first and foremost be safe and then efficient. The pilot in command is responsible for the airworthiness of the aircraft and is the final authority as to the conduct of the flight. A checklist is not intended to be an instruction manual for flying an aircraft. Each phase of flight should have a method and procedures laid out to guide the pilot towards the correct way to operate the aircraft. Instead of using the checklist as an instruction manual the pilot will guide the flow of the flight. The pilot is expected to have a working knowledge of the progress of the flight and the procedures required. The pilot will become familiar with places in the flight that trigger a need to perform procedures and checklist. As you study SOPA you will note the locations that state, Accomplish the following flow. This flow represents all the items on a checklist. It might include items that are not included on the checklist but the pilot should accomplish. The checklist is designed to verify that the correct procedures and system checks have been completed. The layout of SOPA is designed to show the pilot what should be done and what standard method the FAA, Piper, and HSU have in mind as to how that should occur. The basic format for SOPA assumes that the PIC has an additional crew member in the right seat acting as SIC (second in command). The layout places PF (Pilot Flying) duties on the left side of the page and the PM (Pilot Monitoring) on the right side indicating what each crew member should do. On the ground the left side is PIC and the right is SIC. Commencing at Takeoff and concluding with the landing roll the PF is listed on the left side column and the PM is on the right side. The symbol directs the PIC/PF, whereas the directs the SIC/PM. When either (BOTH) or appears, it is intended for both pilots to complete the requested action which is usually to verify a system status or instrument setting. The checklist will always be called for by the PIC/PF. The checklist will be read by the SIC/PM with the PIC/PF responding to the checklist challenge. Additionally, several items on the checklist will request that both pilots respond to the challenge, for additional safety. This will be indicated by (BOTH) just in front of the response. The pilot reading the checklist waits for the response from the other pilot before responding when both pilots are required to reply. While the layout favors a crew compliment on many occasions the PIC is the only pilot on board. During training your flight instructor will expect you to fly the aircraft single pilot to teach the responsibilities involved in a flight. Prior to reaching a career position on a multi crew certified aircraft a large majority of your flying will be single pilot. Obviously, the only change will be that you will do all the flows and checks yourself. The pilot will be expected to perform all the required actions, flows, and checklist. Even in a single pilot environment the pilot will be expected to call for all checklists, Read the Challenge and Response verbally, and announce out loud that the checklist is complete. HSU-AVN Page 4-1 Piper Arrow Student Handbook (REV 0) SOPA

36 SAFETY PROCEDURE: The first pilot arriving at the aircraft or as designated will run the Safety Check as a read and do. The purpose of the Safety Check is to protect the pilot, passengers, aircraft and persons around the aircraft from harm. Further the SAFETY CHECK provides the opportunity to check the fuel status of the aircraft. If fueling is required the decision will be made whether to tow the aircraft to the pumps or taxi the aircraft to the fueling pad. If the decision is made to taxi the aircraft follow all required checklists including the BEFORE TAXI CHECKLIST (only the oil pressure and alternator need be checked) SAFETY CHECK (Read & Do) All Electrical Switches OFF Magnetos OFF/KEY REMOVED Control Lock REMOVE Gear Lever DOWN Battery Switch ON Gear DOWN & 3 GREEN Fuel Qty CHECKED (REFUEL) Lights (night) CHECKED Battery Switch OFF Exterior Check PERFORM Announce: SAFETY CHECK complete Piper Arrow Student Handbook Page 4-2 HSU-AVN SOPA (REV 0)

37 PREFLIGHT PROCEDURE: The purpose of the Preflight check is for the crew to become familiar with all the information about the flight: weather, routing, aircraft status, passengers, weight and balance, performance data, etc. The W&B and performance data should be completed during the flight planning phase, however, the pilot should be aware of any changes that might have taken place unknown to the pilot since the flight planning phase. Each pilot should take the time to review the aircraft squawk book. Examine the squawk book to see if there are any open write ups that have not been addressed. Also, it is the pilot s responsibility to determine if any deferred items exist and what impact it might have on the aircraft flight capability, safety, and legality. On the Flight Operations ticket, enter the Hobbs time. Brief the Passengers on the use of seatbelts and how to escape the aircraft if required. Point out the location of the Fire Extinguisher and its operation. Finally, explain to the passengers the sterile flight deck rules. Brief the crew on the conduct of the flight: Refer to the Crew briefing form in the QRH if necessary. After the briefing and exterior check is complete, accomplish the following flow: Check Circuit Breaker In or Collared Set Parking Break Fuel Selector select to fullest tank Drain Pitot Static Systems Flaps set to 0 o Trim set to Neutral Seatbelts fastened Call for & respond to the PREFLIGHT CHECK SIC PIC Squawk Book Checked, AC Weight & Balance COMPLETE Performance Data COMPLETE Aircraft Documents PRESENT Hobbs RECORDED Exterior Check COMPLETE Fuel --- FLIGHT PLAN FUEL ON BOARD Parking Brake SET Circuit Breakers (BOTH) CHECKED Fuel Selector FULLEST SELECTED Pitot & Static System DRAINED Flaps o Trim SET, NEUTRAL Seatbelts (BOTH) FASTENED Pax/Crew Briefing COMPLETE Announce: PREFLIGHT CHECK complete HSU-AVN Page 4-3 Piper Arrow Student Handbook (REV 0) SOPA
