Engine Specifications
The Piper PA-28RT Arrow IV Turbo is powered by a Continental TSIO-360-FB engine, rated at 200 horsepower at 2575 RPM for both takeoff and continuous operation. It features six cylinders and has a recommended time between overhaul (TBO) of 1800 hours.
Weights and Dimensions
The aircraft has a ramp weight of 2912 lbs (1321 kg) and a gross weight of 2900 lbs (1315 kg). The standard empty weight is 1692 lbs (767 kg), providing a useful load of 1208 lbs (548 kg). The wing area is 170 ft² (15.8 m²) with a wing loading of 17.0 lbs/ft² (83.0 kg/m²).
Performance Metrics
The maximum speed at gross weight is 178 knots (328 km/h) at an altitude of 14,000 feet. The aircraft achieves cruising speeds of 166 knots (307 km/h) at 75% power and 162 knots (300 km/h) at 55% power. The cruise range at long-range cruise power is over 1,560 nautical miles (2,893 km).
Fuel Consumption
At high-speed cruise power (75%), the fuel consumption is 12.0 gallons per hour (45.4 liters per hour). For economy cruise power (65%), it is 11.0 gallons per hour (41.6 liters per hour), and at long-range cruise power (55%), it is 10.8 gallons per hour (40.9 liters per hour).
Takeoff and Landing Distances
The takeoff distance at sea level with zero wind and standard temperature is 790 feet (1463 m) for ground run and 900 feet (1667 m) to clear a 50-foot obstacle. The landing distance is 695 feet (1278 m) for ground roll and 775 feet (1435 m) to clear a 50-foot obstacle.
