Free account — keep the POHs & checklists you reference in one place.

Overview

The Piper PA-28 Archer DX is a four-seat, single-engine piston airplane. The library record gives a first model year of 2019 and no end year, so it appears to be still in production. None of the supplied documents is a DX manual. They cover the older PA-28-180 Cherokee Archer and the PA-28-181 Archer. Treat the figures below as related-model reference, not DX specifications.

  • Piper PA-28 Archer DX: 4 seats, single-engine piston, first year 2019, no end year in the library record.
  • No DX-specific performance, weight or fuel data was supplied. Get the DX flight manual and weight and balance report before buying.
  • The related PA-28-181 checklists show Vy 76 KIAS and 48 gal usable fuel. Confirm both against the DX manual.
  • The PA-28-180 manual states gross weight of 2450 lbs and a useful load of 1046 lbs. These are not DX figures.
