SECTION 7 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF THf, AIRPLANE AND ITS SYTEMS

7.I THE AIRPLANE The Turbo Arrow IV is a single engine, retractablelanding gear, all metal airplane featuring the tail surfacesin a "T" configuration. It has seatingfor up to four occupants,a 200 pound luggage compartment,and a turbocharged200 HP engine.

7.3 AIRFRAME With the exception of the steel engine mount, the landing gear, missteel parts, the cowling, and the lightweight plastic extremities cellaneous of wings, tail fin, rudder and stabilator), the basic airframe is of {tips aluminum alloy. Aerobatics are prohibited in this airplane since the structure is not designedfor aerobaticioads. is The fuselage a semi-monocoque structure. Thereis a front door on the right side. A cargo door is installed aft of the rear seat. The wing is of a conventional design semi-taperedand employs a laminar flow NACA 652415 airfoil section.The main spar is located at approximately 4070 of the chord aft of the leading edge. The wings are attachedto the fuselage the insertion of the butt ends of the spar into a by spar box carry-through,which is an integral part of the fuselage structure. The bolting ofthe spar endsinto the sparbox carry-through structure,which is located under the aft seats,provides in effect a continuous main spar. The wings are also attached fore and aft of the main spar by an auxiliary front spar and a rear spar. The rear spar, in addition to taking torque and drag loads, provides a mount for flaps and ailerons. The four-position wing flaps are mechanically controlled by a handle located between the front seats. When fully retracted, the right flap locks into place to provide a step for cabin entry. Each wing contains one fuel tank.

A vertical stabilizer,an all-movablehorizontal stabilator,and a rudder make up the empennage. The stabilator,which is mounted on top of the fin, incorporatesan anti-servotab which improves longitudinal stability and provides longitudinal trim. This tab moves in the same direction as the stabilator, but with increasedtravel.

7.5 ENGINE AND PROPELLER The engine is a six cylinder, horizontally opposed, fuel injected,turbocharged engine, rated at 200 horsepower at 2575 RPM and 4l inches MAP from sealevel to 12,000feet density altitude. It is equippedwith an oil cooler with a low temperature bypass system and engine mounted oil filter. A winterization plate is provided to restrict air during winter operation. (See Winterizationin Handling and ServicingSection.)The turbocharger control system is a fixed, ground adjustable orifice ("fixed wastegate"), and is adjsted to provide 4l inches MAP at full throttle at 12,000feet density altitude. Throttle position controls engine power and no separateturbocharger control system is utilized. An overboost valve prevents manifold pressurefrom exceeding42 inches Hg. should the throttle inadvertently be opened too far below 12,000 feet density altitude. Should this occur, the amber'overboost" warning light in the annunciator panel will illuminate. The engine induction system is provided with two independent air sources,an induction air filter box with filter, and interconnectingducting. The primary air inlet is located above No. I cylinder (right rear) in the engine rear baffle. Induction air enters at this point and is ducted to the induction filter box, thru the filter and is further ducted to the turbocharger compressorinlet. The induction air filter box incorporates an alternateair valve. This valve may be manually operated(opened)with the alternateair control, allowing air to bypass the filter, supplying heated air directly to the compressor inlet. Should the primary air source become blocked, the alternate air valve will open automatically due to the sucking action of the turbocharger compressor.The heatedair provided by the alternate air sourcewill protect against induction system blockage caused by snow or freezing rain, or by the freezing of moisture accumulated in the induction air filter. The alternate air is unfiltered and therefore should not be used during ground operation when dust or other contaminates might enter the system. The primary (filtered air) induction source should always be used for takeoff.

The amount of induction air compression a function of engine Any - low power, low compression; high power, higher compression' power xcessiveprssure(and flow) is expelled by the overboost valve discussed previously. The fuel injection system incorporates a metering system which measuresthe rate at which turbocharged air is being used by the engine and fuel to the cylinders proportionally. Fuel is suppliedto the injector dispenses pump at a greater rate than the enginerequires.The fuel injection systemis a "continuous flow" tYPe. A combination fuel flow indicator and manifold pressure gauge is installed in the left side of the instrument panel. The fuel flow indicator is connected to the fuel flow divider and monitors fuel pressure.The instrument converts fuel pressure to an approximate indication of fuel flow in gallons per hour and percentageof cruise power. To obtain maximum efficiency and time from the engine, follow the procedures recommended in the Teledyne continental operator's Manual provided with the airplane. The Hartzell constant speed propeller is controlled by a governor mounted on the left forward side of the crankcase.The governor is controlled by a cable from the power control quadrant. A choice of a two bladed (standard) propeller or a three bladed (optional) propeller is offered.

Zero pressure would indicate a shearedpump drive, defective pump, possibly a defectivegaugeor collapsedline. In the event of any gaugevariation from the norm, the pilot should havea mechanic checkthe system prevent to possible damageto the systemcomponentsor eventual failure of the system.

An optional heatedpitot head,which alleviares problemswith icing or heavy rain, is available.The switch for pitot heat is iocatedon the switch panel. Push-button type pitot and static drains are located on the lower left sidewall of the cockpit. An alternate static source is available as optional equipment. The control valve is locatedbelow the left sideof the instrunrentpanel.when the valve is set in the alternateposition, the altimeter,vertical speedindicator and airspeedindicator will be using cabin air for static pressure. The storm window and cabin vents must be closedand the cabin heaterand defroster must be on during alternatestatic sourceoperation.The altimeter error is lessthan 50 feet unlessotherwiseplacarded. To prevent bugs and water from enteringthe pitot pressure holeswhen the airplane is parked, a cover should be placed over the pitot head. A partially or completelyblocked pitot head will give erratic or zero readings on the instruments. NOTE During preflight, check to make sure the pitot cover is removed.

7.27 HEATING, VENTILATING AND DEFROSTING SYSTEM The heating system is designedto provide maximum comfort for the during winter and cool weatherflights.The system occupants includesa heat shroud, heat ducts, defroster outlets,heat and defrostercontrols. CAUTION When cabin heat is operated,heatduct surface becomeshot. This could resultin burns if arms or legs are placedtoo closeto heatduct outlets or surface. An opening in the front of the lower cowl admits ram air to the heater shroud and then the air is ductedto the heatershut-offson the right and left sideof the fire wall. When the shut-off s areopenedthe heatedair then enters the heat ducts located along each side of the centerconsole.Outlets in the heat duct are located at eachseat location. Airflow to the rear seatscan be regulatedby controls in the heat ducts locatedbetween front seats. the The temperatureof the cabin is regulatedby the heatercontrol located on the right side of the instrument panel. Defrosting is accomplishedby heat outletslocatedon the right and left side of the cowl cover. Heated air is ducted directly to defrostershut-off valvesat the fire wall, then to the defrosteroutlets.The airflow is regulated by a defrostercontrol located below the heat control. To aid air distribution, the cabin air is exhausted overboardby an outlet located on the bottom of the fuselage.Cabin exhaust outlets are located below and outboard ofthe rear seats. The abovefeaturesare removedwhen a i r c o n d i t i o n i n gi s i n s t a l l e d . An optional overheadventilating systemwith outlets over each seatis also available.An additional option to aid in fresh air circulationon models without air conditioning is a cabin air blower to force air through the overhead vent system.This blower is operatedby a fan switch with three posit i o n s- " O F F , " " L O W , " a n d " H I G H .
