  • A first look at the Carenado Piper PA-28 Archer II in Microsoft Flight Simulator - taking it for a quick flight from Boonville to Cloverdale in the US. Along the way we try out some of the avionics, do some stall tests, and have some fun.
    Wonderful little plane.

    I used to own a PA-28 and was very impressed at how stable it was in the air. I picked up this plane for MSFS the other day and was suitably impressed. It feels like the actual plane. The lack of an autopilot is not a problem as it's incredibly easy to hand fly.

    Carenado is simply an excellent developer of GA aircraft. For high quality aircraft at a fair price, it's hard to go wrong. As you pointed out in this video, this aircraft is impressive both inside and out. I can put a lot of hours flying all over the place with this plane and enjoying every minute of it. Oh and the thumbnail, looks real.

    thanks for this brief review. this surely will be my next purchase for the flightsim.
    maybe carenado does not build the most realistic aircrafts, but they look just wonderful and since I don't fly on vatsim or other online communities and I just fly to relax after a day at the office to cool down its not such a big deal for me (nevertheless I also love the P28 line of just flight)
    I just like those old fashioned steam gauge cockpits since I did my first "lessons" in the build in "flight school" with the C152.
    I've had watch quite a few of your reviews and guides and wanted to give you a thank you as it often was helpful and I like your calm kind of presentation.

    The PA28 flaps are mechanical so move instantly, in real world you don't taxi with flaps extended, start with fuel pump on and put it on for take off and landings. You do run up and take off checks prior to departure, check left, right and both magnetos. No flaps needed for normal take off, only short field departure. Rotate about 85mph.

  • @droge192
    @droge192 Год назад

    "It's a nice warm day so it's debatable whether we'll need the fuel pump" - I think you are getting confused with choke, in a carburreted aircraft engine. The weather and temps have no bearing on the use of fuel pump. In the real aircraft (I have 200hrs in an Archer of this generation), you would use the fuel pump for engine start - with mixture and thrrottle set to full - until you see a positive reading on the fuel pressure. You then reduce the throttle to an inch, and turn over. Without the fuel pump, it will take a long time for the mech pump to get fuel into the cylinders, and although it would probably start eventually, you'd have 10-15 secs turning over of the starter.

    • @jonbeckett
      @jonbeckett  Год назад

      I meant the fuel pump :) Several of the aircraft talk in their checklists about using the boost pump in adverse weather conditions (cold) to start the engine. Good to get the perspective of a real pilot on this though. I don't think any of the aircraft properly simulate engine management - but I think that's more to do with the simulator at the moment, than the aircraft themselves. I'll do a video about it at some point :) (as soon as we get a really accurately modelled engine)

I don't know why simmers pretend to do acro with every plane. In RL you do acro with very few one. A tonneaux with an Archer I believe is mostly impossible and if you try it probably tgere us nkt a secknd chance.
