Retractable landing gear, a constant-speed propeller, and 200 horsepower make the Arrow a true complex aircraft — and the airplane on nearly every commercial pilot's path. This is where you learn to manage systems like a professional.
The Arrow is a PA-28 you already know — with three new things to master. The gear retracts, so you learn to configure the airplane and back yourself up with checklists. The propeller is constant-speed, so you learn to manage manifold pressure and RPM together. And with 200 horsepower up front, it climbs and cruises with real authority.
Put those together and the Arrow does exactly what a complex trainer should: it teaches the systems management and discipline that separate a hobby pilot from a professional. It is the natural bridge between your Private and your Commercial certificate.
Learn how the retractable gear, hydraulics, and constant-speed prop actually work before you ever touch the controls.
Build the habits and checklist flows that make configuring a complex airplane second nature and safe.
Fly the commercial maneuvers to standard with 200 horsepower and precise power management.
