Overview

This document serves as the NSA Master Checklist for the Piper PA-28-181 Archer equipped with the G1000 avionics system. It is intended for use by students at North Star Aviation, Inc., and outlines both normal and emergency procedures necessary for the safe operation of the aircraft. The checklist is organized into various sections, covering preflight checks, engine starting procedures, and emergency protocols. It emphasizes the importance of following the procedures as outlined in the Piper Information Manuals and includes specific NSA procedures. The document is designed to be easily updated to reflect the latest safety and operational standards.

  • The primary aircraft model covered is the Piper PA-28-181.
  • Emergency procedures include definitions for 'Land As Soon As Possible' and 'Land As Soon As Practical.'
  • Preflight checks must include verifying fuel quantity and oil levels (6-8 quarts).
  • Engine starting procedures vary for cold and hot engines, with specific checks for oil temperature and battery voltage (must be at least 23.3 volts).
  • Before takeoff, ensure all flight instruments are set and the fuel pump is on.

Introduction

The introduction outlines the purpose of the document, which is to provide required normal and emergency procedures for the Piper PA-28-181 Archer. It emphasizes adherence to the Piper Information Manuals and includes specific procedures from North Star Aviation.

Emergency Procedures

This section details critical emergency procedures, including definitions of 'Land As Soon As Possible' and 'Land As Soon As Practical.' It provides guidance on how to respond to various in-flight emergencies, emphasizing the importance of memorizing specific memory items.

Preflight Checklist

The preflight checklist includes essential checks such as verifying fuel quantity, oil levels, and ensuring all switches are off. It also includes specific instructions for checking the aircraft's condition, including the main gear strut and tire conditions.

Engine Starting Procedures

The checklist provides detailed steps for starting the engine, including checks for oil temperature and battery voltage. It outlines procedures for cold and hot engine starts, as well as flooded start procedures.

Before Takeoff Checklist

This section includes checks for battery and alternator status, fuel pump operation, and verification of flight instruments. It also emphasizes the importance of a thorough departure briefing.

Safety notes

  • Memory items must be memorized and evaluated periodically during training.
  • If the main gear strut is not approximately 4.5 inches, it requires maintenance.
  • If E-volts are less than 23.3 volts, the issue must be resolved before flight.

NSA Master Checklist G1000 Archers Rev 11 pg 2 NSA Master Checklist G1000 Archers Rev 11 pg 1 Introduction This document has been prepared by North Star Aviation, Inc. and is being furnished to students at the flight school in accordance with 14 CFR Part 141.75(a). This book contains the required normal and emergency procedures for the safe operation of our aircraft as specified in the respective Piper Information Manuals, Lycoming Operators Manual and Service Instructions. In addition to procedures required by Piper, some NSA specific procedures have been added for reference. Organization This document has been divided into separate sections that outline the normal procedures and emergency procedures to the PA-28-181. Checklist Completion Upon Completion of a checklist the pilot flying should state “Checklist Complete”. If a checklist is interrupted, the checklist should be restarted. Revision Control NORTH STAR AVIATION MASTER CHECKLIST G1000 Archers PA 28-181 Revision 11 To allow for improvements based on safety, performance, or standardization, this document is being provided in an easily revisable format. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure their copy of this document contains the most current revision(s). A record of revisions can be found on the next page that will track individual page numbers affected by each revision. Each individual page will have its revision number printed in the lower left-hand corner. Disclaimers This document is provided for training purposes only and is not intended to replace the required Pilot Operations Manual in each aircraft. In actual Emergency Situations, the POH should be consulted if able. No replication of this document is authorized without the express written consent of North Star Aviation, Inc. Differences between, LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICAL In the emergency sections of this checklist, the terms land as soon as possible and land as soon as practical are used. The definitions for each are found below as they pertain to North Star Aviation Operations. LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE means that continued flight is not recommended, and the pilot should land at the nearest airport where a safe landing can be made. Military bases, large airports such as class Bravo and class Charlie, or airports in foreign countries are valid options and must be considered by the pilot. If the pilot determines that they are unable to make it to the nearest airport, the pilot should consider a field, road, or any other surface the pilot determines to be a safe option. LAND AS SOON AS PRATICAL means that extended flight is not recommended, and the pilot should land at a nearby airport but has discretion as to which one they choose. Services provided by the airport and the nature of the emergency should be considered by the pilot when determining which airport to land at. In each section, procedures surrounded by red dashed boxes are considered “Memory Items”. These procedures are required to be memorized and will be evaluated periodically throughout training.
