This highly detailed simulation of the PA-28R Arrow III, Turbo Arrow III and Turbo Arrow IV has been developed by Just Flight's in-house team following comprehensive, hands-on research with a real-life PA28 Arrow.

A four seater, piston-engine aircraft equipped with a retractable tricycle landing gear and constant-speed propeller, it's ideal for touring and instrument training.

Model

  • PA-28R-201 Arrow III, PA-28R-201T Turbo Arrow III and Turbo Arrow IV, built using real-world aircraft plans and comprehensive photography of the real aircraft
  • Numerous animations including passenger and baggage door, storm window, sun visors and oil cover
  • Ground equipment including chocks, tie-downs and pushback towbar
  • 4096x4096 textures for the highest possible texture clarity
  • PBR materials with real-time environment reflections for superb quality and realism
  • Detailed normal mapping for down-to-the-rivet precision of aircraft surfaces
  • MSFS visual icing effects and ground services

Cockpit

  • A truly 3D virtual cockpit right down to accurately modelled seat belts and screw heads - every instrument is constructed fully in 3D
  • Cockpit textures feature wear and tear based on the real aircraft to produce an authentic environment, with optional ‘clean’ textures for a less worn look
  • Dimmable instrument, radio and dome lighting, with separate control circuits
  • Tablet EFB for controlling various aircraft options, and checking aircraft and flight information:
    • 'Cold & Dark', 'Ready for Take-off' and ‘Ready for Start’ aircraft states
    • Persistent aircraft states, allowing you to return to your cockpit in the same state that you last left it
    • Automatic switching of the fuel tanks for use on long distance cross-country flights
    • GPS unit selection
    • Direction Indicator (DI) or Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) instrument options
    • Aircraft failures
    • Door controls
    • Flight computer with useful information such as fuel burn, endurance, speed and wind speed/direction
  • Fully-functional IFR capable avionics fit including:
    • KMA 20 audio selector unit
    • KX 170B COM 1 / NAV 1 radio
    • KX 175B COM 2 / NAV 2 radio
    • KN 62 DME unit which can display information from NAV 1, NAV 2 or its own inbuilt receiver (NAV 3)
    • Piper Autocontrol IIIB autopilot unit with navigation, heading and roll hold (altitude hold clickspot included)
    • KT 76A transponder unit
    • KR 85 ADF unit with ADF/ANT/BFO modes and support for fractional frequencies, e.g. 383.3
    • GPS 100, GNS 430/530, GTN 750 (PMS-50 or TDS GTN required, PC only)
    • HSI/OBS support RNAV approach indications

Aircraft systems

  • Engine turbocharger fixed wastegate and overboost simulation (progressive engine failure due to overboost if wastegate fails, with EFB controls for monitoring and resetting engine damage/failure)
  • Custom-coded fuel system including the option to have automatic switching of the fuel tanks for use on those long distance cross-country flights
  • Custom-coded electrical system with functional circuit breakers
  • Realistic landing gear system with emergency and automatic release at low airspeeds
  • Failures including spark plug fowling, limited battery life, vapor lock and more
  • Lighting system includes separate lighting control for instruments (via rheostat) and realistic implementation of navigation/radio light rheostat
  • Many other details, such as a passenger door that automatically closes with airflow and vibrating engine exhausts!
  • MSFS checklists (manual and automatic/co-pilot modes)

Other

  • Realistic and accurate flight dynamics based on real world performance and handling data, and input from Arrow pilots
  • Authentic IO-360 and TSIO-360 sound-sets developed using the powerful new Wwise sound system, with custom sounds for all switches, doors, gear warnings and more, and even panel rattles!
  • Comprehensive manual with panel guide and performance data
  • PSD Paint Kit

The PA-28 Arrow III, PA-28 Turbo Arrow III, and the PA-28 Turbo Arrow IV are three renowned single-engine, four-seat light aircraft offerings from Piper Aircraft of the United States. The trio belongs to the Arrow series of the company’s portfolio, which were a progression from their earlier Cherokee family. The key difference is that Cherokee models have fixed tricycle landing gear and Arrows have retractable tricycle gear.

The three feature all-metal construction and a tapered main wing. The Turbo Arrow III and IV have turbocharged engines that produce 200 horsepower from sea level to 12,000 feet while the PA-28 Arrow III uses a naturally-aspirated engine that slowly loses total output with elevation. The Arrow III and the Turbo Arrow III each have traditional empennages while the Turbo Arrow IV features a T-tail.

All three are great craft for a wide variety of aviators and purposes. They are particularly well suited for pilots who have progressed beyond the rudiments of flight and are looking for a cockpit experience with greater performance while maintain a robust level of control and stability.
