RC offers a natural step up from both the Warrior and the Archer, the Arrow introduces retractable landing gear and a constant-speed propeller, making it the ideal aircraft for pilots looking to build experience on complex aircraft while retaining the renowned handling characteristics and reliability that Piper is famous for. Whether you're looking for an aircraft for hour building, a new addition to your flight training fleet or comfortable tourer, this Arrow IV is a superb all-rounder.

G-OARC has accumulated 7,275 airframe hours and the Lycoming engine has 1,550 hours since overhaul, completed in 2018.

Completing the package is the highly desirable Garmin GFC 500 digital autopilot, making cross-country touring a pleasure while significantly reducing pilot workload. Traditional DME and ADF equipment are also installed, providing excellent flexibility for IFR training too.
