Archer II Checkout Engine Failure I Stalls I Steep Turns

[@johnquimby3079]

great video - nice stick and rudder work. As an Archer II owner I might add two things to your engine out procedure that I was taught: you nailed the Aviate but Navigate with the 430 you could try to hit nearest before you pick a field. My instructor always reminded me that you might be over or just past an airport at your six and not realize it. Second suggestion for Archer owners - I was taught to unlatch the door as part of the checklist. Since we only have 1 exit if the airframe gets bent having the door unlatched will make a hasty exit easier. Great video and good reminder that we all need to practice the engine out procedures - a friend suggested you set a random alarm on your phone for your trip to force you to practice at a totally unexpected time.

Thanks John! My first attempt to get checked out was called by me. It just wasn't feeling right so after we started and I realized I hadn't even pulled the chocks, I figured it was time to postpone the checkout. That's some GREAT advice for the door opening. I don't even think that's on the checklist until the very end. By then, I might get stuck concentrating on where to land and flying the plane and not opening the door. I'll make sure to commit that to memory when flying jsut about any plane. Not like its going to open while in the air anyways. Also, the timer is a great recommendation. Next flight and I'll do that. After reviewing this video, I noticed I became a lot more anxious when we pulled the power, even though I knew it was going to happen by the CFI telling me to go to idle. there's something about that situation that puts everyone edge. Thanks for your feedback and for watching my video!

@@MichaelCarrPilot Going to echo what John said above about unlatching the doors. I got my PPL in a 172 and even with two doors we (simulated) unlatching them as part of engine out practice. Good work on your checkout flight. Hello from Phoenix, AZ.

Learning to fly in an archer 2 myself. Our checklist looks different; I think it’s laid out a little nicer and the font is bigger with less on each page. You start one page one and end on page 3 or so when you land going through everything in order as you progress your flight. It’s pretty organized in a logical way.

[@archerpiperii2690]

I made a checklist similar to what you describe, much easier than having everything on a single sheet! Phoenix, AZ

[@RTOutdoors]

Enjoyed it as always. Another tip. Always keep that fuel pressure gauge in your scan. That goes for any PA28 for that matter.

[@MichaelCarrPilot]

Thanks for tagging a long Rodney! I'll make sure to add the pressure check to m mental notes. I appreciate the feedback.

The CFI/Check Pilot's right hand has been displaying an appropriate amount of stress. ;-) (He's only human too!)

[@CaptainPeeples]

Enjoy the videos, CFII here and not ashamed to ask a question publicly because hopefully it will help someone else as well. C172 I have no problem demonstrating/teaching power on and power off stalls. However in the Archer II, when demonstrating power on stalls, I’ll be coordinated perfectly, and it still brakes to the right. Very sudden/abrupt. It’s very uncomfortable and I know if it wasn’t immediately corrected we would find ourselves in a spin. Thoughts, ideas?

[@MichaelCarrPilot]

Hey Justin thanks for watching! I'm not too sure! My limited knowledge makes me think of CAS. It's calibrated because of instrument error. Maybe there's instrument error in the turn coordinator? Someone else might could chime in with a better idea though.

[@littleferrhis]

Yeah I forgot MTSU used to have a weird UAS rule where you had to have a PPL for their drone program. They got rid of it in 2018 or so.

[@MichaelCarrPilot]

oh my!

[@israelgrober2531]

great video .

[@Mavwin]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos :)

[@MichaelCarrPilot]

Thanks for watching Mavwin and the support. Really trying to get caught up on past flights I never got to sharing.

[@kevinbraden798]

Got to fly one back in 86

[@MichaelCarrPilot]

Kevin Braden do you remember where? That was 3 years before I was born!

[@kevinbraden798]

@@MichaelCarrPilot I got to fly one at San Jose International. I had just graduated high school and was hired by the Commercial Airlines at SJC. The Archers felt like a fancy sports car after you had been flying a Cessna 152 :)

Soon I'll study at MTSU and planning to have my flight licenses at Murfreesboro aviation:)

Absolutely perfect. Tell Jim that Michael Carr sent ya!

+Michael Carr cool I'll do that , do you work there or just study with them ?

You've earned yourself a new sub man, very cool video! :)

Thanks for tagging along and the sub!

I learned to fly in the Archer. Never used carb heat for landing. Is that right???

[@MichaelCarrPilot]

might not have been, I might have just been following the checlist.

[@observer1242]

Yeah. Something about the pipe or induction system is different than the Cessna. I was always told that the Cessna‘s had a tendency for carb heat that pipers did not not that a piper can’t get curb ice but that in the landing checklist I don’t think I was taught to use curb heat, interesting stuff. Enjoy your flying. Archer is a good airplane. Dakota is a great airplane.

Great work as usual keep it up bro love it

[@MichaelCarrPilot]

+yecoutiel cohen Thank you for the kind words!

[@pilotguy2fy]

These videos are so awesome 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾keep up the great work. How do you record engine sound and radio at the same time?

[@MichaelCarrPilot]

Thanks Darien for watching ! The engine sounds are through the GoPro microphone. I have a set up through the radio system with a couple components from Radio Shack I use. Working on a how to on that right now!!

Thanks! Was nice to get back in an airplane after a while of no flying
