These documents are for reference and study. Editions, serial ranges, and revision levels vary, and none of these copies carries your airplane's weight and balance or equipment list. The current POH or AFM in your aircraft governs every flight.

Handbooks by variant

Open the variant that matches your airplane's model year and serial range. If you are between two of them, read both title pages before you trust a number.

PA-28R-180 / -200 Arrow and Arrow II (1967–1976)2 docs

Hershey-bar wing, 180 or 200 hp, and on many early airframes the automatic gear extension system. If yours still has it, the book's procedure is the one that matters, not what somebody told you at the club.

PA-28R-201 / PA-28RT-201 Arrow III and IV (1977–present)3 docs

Tapered wing, and the RT-201 Arrow IV moves to a T-tail with noticeably different rotation and low-speed handling. Turbo -201T airframes add their own power and altitude limits.

The FAA handbooks are public domain and free, and chapter 10 of the PHAK is the clearest explanation of what each POH section is supposed to tell you. See the FAA handbook list →
