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 luggagecompartment,and a
turbocharged200 HP engine.
7.3 AIRFRAME
With the exception of the steel engine mount, the landing gear, miscellaneoussteel parts, the cowling, and the lightweight plastic extremities
{tips of wings, tail fin, rudder and stabilator), the basic airframe is of
aluminum alloy. Aerobatics are prohibited in this airplane since the
structure is not designedfor aerobaticioads.
The fuselageis a semi-monocoquestructure.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 fuselageby the insertion of the butt ends of the spar into a
spar box carry-through,which is an integral part of the fuselagestructure.
The bolting ofthe spar endsinto the sparbox carry-throughstructure,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 turbochargercontrol
system is a fixed, ground adjustable orifice ("fixed wastegate"), and is
adjüsted 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.

A RayJay turbocharger on the engineis operatedby the engineexhaust
gases.The exhaust gasesdrive a turbine wheel which is coaxial with a comp..tto. wheel. Induction air entering the compressorwheel,iscompressed
änd delivered to the engineinduction distribution system and henceto each
cylinder. The amount of induction air compressionis a function of engine
power - low power, low compression;high power, higher compression'Any
äxcessiveprössure(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
dispensesfuel to the cylinders proportionally. Fuel is suppliedto the injector
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.

are moved in their respectivedirections.
The horizontal surface (stabilator) is mounted atop the fin in a "T"
configuration and features a trim tab/servo mounted on the trailing edge.
This tab servesthe dual function ofproviding trim control and pitch control
forces, The trim function is controlled by a trim control wheel located on the

forward gives nose down trim and rotation aft gives nose up trim.
The rudder is conventional in design and incorporates a rudder trim.
The trim mechanism is a spring-loadedrecenteringdevice. The trim control
is located on the right side of the pedestal below the throttle quadrant.
Turning the trim control clockwise gives nose right trim and
counterclockwise rotation gives nose left trim.

The vacuum gauge,mounted on the right instrumentpanelto the right
of the radios, (refer to Figure 7-21) provides valuable information to the
pilot about the operation of the vacuum system.A decreasein pressurein a
systemthat has remainedconstantover an extendedperiod, may indicatea
dirty filter, dirty screens,possiblya stickingvacuum regulatoror leak in system (a low vacuum indicator light is provided in the annunciator panel).
Zero pressurewould indicate a shearedpump drive, defectivepump, possibly a defectivegaugeor collapsedline. In the event of any gaugevariation
from the norm, the pilot should havea mechaniccheckthe systemto prevent
possibledamageto the systemcomponentsor eventualfailure of the system.

Pitot and static pressureis picked up by the pitot headon the bottom of
the left wing. An optional heatedpitot head,which alleviaresproblemswith
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 pressureholeswhen
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.

could result.
The manifold pressureline has a drain valve locatedbehind and below
the manifold pressuregauge. This allows any moisture which may have
collectedfrom condensationto be pulled into the engine.This is accomplished by depressingthe valve for 5 secondswhile operatingthe engineat
1 0 0 0R P M .
NOTE
Do not depressthe valve when manifold pressure exceeds25 inches He.

7.27 HEATING, VENTILATING AND DEFROSTING SYSTEM
The heating system is designedto provide maximum comfort for the
occupantsduring winter and cool weatherflights.The systemincludesa 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 locatedbetweenthe front seats.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 exhaustedoverboardby 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 . " T h e s w i t c hi s l o c a t e do n t h e r i g h t s i d e
