Very nice video. The Piper Cherokee Warrior (N303GS) was the airplane that I got my PPL in several years ago, and it's so great that Just Flight seems to have nailed the authenticity of that wonderful little trainer. The sounds in the cockpit are spot-on and the only thing that I found lacking was the smell of the leather seats and the aroma of the worn carpet. It was great riding along with you. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the preview. I used to fly Warriors out of PDK. One recommendation is to not deploy flaps while banked in a turn. Wait until you level the wings first. Stall speed is higher in a turn and lift is not opposite gravity. You risk ballooning, increasing your AOA in the turn and stalling low and slow.

Yeah that is something we’re usually cautious about in real life, also because of the risk of asymmetric flap extension. You fly Pa28s long enough though your yoke hand automatically pushes forward to compensate when you deploy flap 😂

Thanks, yes if you could have another look that would be great. You mention at the beginning of your review that you are familiar with the Warrior, do you feel that JF's sim is about right as far as engine power is concerned ? Reason why I'm asking is because I am not familiar with the Warrior, however I am very familiar with the Archer (which I've been flying at the local airclub for a few decades now), so I increased the engine's power from 160 to 180hp in the engines.cfg file to mimic ther engine power of the Archer but it seems to be overpowered I think. If I bring it back to 160hp, I have about the amount of power I get in the real Archer. I may even need to lower to 150hp. Coming back to the pitch jerking issue. Ideally I was looking for an Archer but I couldn't find a good one around for MSFS. So I acquired this Warrior yesterday and I see where people are coming from. It's as if the turbulence effects that have been added with SU9 are amplified in this particular aircraft. The jerking exists in the real one (well... the Archer in my case at least), it's just the magnitude of it that's a problem.

I’m not quite sure what you mean with the balance ball, but it won’t give particularly reliable indications when changing attitude, so I wouldn’t worry too much about that. Use opposite rudder to help level the wings if you’re using a steep angle of bank (45 degrees or more) otherwise just relax rudder pressure as you return to wings level 👍🏻

You never leaned the mixture after engine start, you will foul the spark plugs this way. Your use of carburetor heat after lining up on the runway was completely unnecessary, POH states you only use that if you suspect ice. PA28 are not prone to carburetor ice like Cessna's, plus you were going to go into a take of at full power anyways.
@FlyFromHome2 жыл бұрын
I’ve never encountered any information stating that leaning is required in a warrior while taxiing, although I’m happy to be proved wrong if you have a link. Most of the techniques we use are designed to teach students good practice for basic SEPs in general, not just Warriors - that said a friend of mine had a crash due to a loss of power just after takeoff in a Grumman Cheetah - which the investigators attributed to a lump of ice lodging itself into the carb after power was applied. I believe the AA-5A has the same engine as the Warrior 🤷🏻♂️
@marsstarlink32352 жыл бұрын
@@FlyFromHome the reason you lean aggressively after engine start, taxi, is so the spark plugs don't get fowled with lead residue. This happens because the fuel mixture is too rich and isn't being burned off at low power. When you go do the runup the engine one day will run rough because of this. If you aggressively lean and attempt to take off without enriching then the engine will sputter and cough, you'll remember to enrichen the mixture. Also on high altitude airports you want to learn for best power done in the runup. About carburetor ice, that other airplane you mentioned is different, and should be operated differently regardless of engine similarities. The PA28 warrior 2 is a 160hp airplane. The carburetor is in a unique location where it's warmer than on Cessna's that are notorios for ice. You should test the carburetor lever on each flight, but in that situation you were in the sim it's not actually clearing any ice, Ive flown in full IFR with these bird in just above freezing temps and never touched that carb ice lever, I do have my hand ready if I suspect ice building in the carburetor. Happens very rarely. 2cents
@FlyFromHome2 жыл бұрын
Yep I do realise why you lean for taxi, I’ve just never seen any manufacturer’s docs recommending it for the Warrior. It’s generally more of a practice for aircraft with larger, high power engines. I used to fly a Comanche 250, in which it was vital to lean out. It also used to ice up on the ground quite aggressively too! Regarding the carb ice, I appreciate that the Warrior is less susceptible to icing than Cessnas are, but our flying school uses a variety of different types and the techniques we teach are designed to promote good airmanship in general. You really don’t lose anything by running a short blast of carb heat before take-off following a long taxi - better to be safe than sorry in my book 😊
@marsstarlink32352 жыл бұрын
@@FlyFromHome The Manufacturer's docs on the old birds are almost like a Brochure, does not encompass everything specially the performance graphs which are bare bones. I have no experience on a 250 Comanche but I do on a twin Comanche which is fuel injected, not the same deal. Another point I want to bring up on why you shouldn't taxi with carb heat on is that you're now bringing unfiltered air (bypassing the air filter) now that air is close to the ground, dust, rocks, bugs can get into the engine when the PA28 was perfectly happy a second ago. If you suspect carb ice, use the lever and don't hesitate as but with the PA28 you really have to try to get carb ice in the air, on the ground its unheard of.
@FlyFromHome2 жыл бұрын
Carb heat usage on the ground is part of the power check procedures as per the checklist - if it was so harmful to the engine I’m sure they wouldn’t prescribe doing it when you’re sat at 2,000rpm and stationary. I’ve definitely experienced carb icing on the ground before in some aircraft and as mentioned - we’re not just teaching students to fly warriors. Last thing I’d want to do is teach a freshly minted PPL that carb icing doesn’t happen. Let’s just agree to disagree before we turn the comments into PPRUNE 😉

Rather have good model and JF’s flight model, than excellent externals but Caranado’s cookie cutter flight model.

I agree. That said, a couple of the new Carenado planes do have very good flight models.

I wish they had a glass cockpit version. I’m currently training for my PPL in one of these, but it has a glass cockpit and in game it’s all analog and you can see where the transition gets difficult
