A few questions I was hoping someone could help me out with. I got a checkout a few months ago in an Archer, and had a lot of the same questions that you guys helped me out with. I will be getting a checkout in a 1963 CherokeeB 180. The POH (owners manual, handbook, whatever you want to call it) is very poor, and does not list some basic info. My questions if anyone can answer are:
1. Usable fuel? Total fuel is 50 gallons, and an Archer has 48 usable, but this POH says nothing about usable, it only mentions capacity.
2. Va, Vne, Vno? Again, nothing in the POH about these speeds, I again would imagine the same or close to the Archer, although Vs, and Vs0 are different, so these may be as well.
3. Max. demonstrated crosswind component? Again, Archer is 17 kts, but nothing in the POH about it, although I never could find it in the Archer POH, but everyone here said it is 17 kts.
4. I am assuming that the limitation on slips are the same in this aircraft as an Archer, but I don't know, the Archer POH just says to avoid prolonged slips, and I would have to assume since it is almost the same aircraft that it is the same.
5. Anyone know if short/soft field takeoffs are the same flaps as an Archer, which is 25 degrees? The POH for the Cherokee 180 talks about short/soft field landings, but nothing about takeoffs, but again, I would have to assume it is the same.
Thank you in advance for any help that cam be offered. I did google search this, the only problem is you never know how reliable some sites are, and I trust info I can get here much more.
