About the PA-28R-200 Cherokee Arrow
The Piper PA-28R-200 Cherokee Arrow is a type-certificated, fixed-wing civil utility aircraft featuring a single engine and a four-seat layout. It serves as an unpressurized light aircraft used for personal travel, air taxi services, and flight instruction.
Introduced following the broader success of the Cherokee family, this variant is equipped with a retractable undercarriage and a constant-speed propeller driven by a fuel-injected engine. Over decades of manufacturing, the lineage has evolved through numerous iterations incorporating various engine powers, semi-tapered wing designs, and updated avionics to remain a cornerstone of flight school fleets and private ownership.
