Trial by Ice

Air Facts

Flying in the clouds in a single engine airplane when the OAT is below freezing is not a good idea! The general prognosis indicated no icing in the clouds, no turbulence and a quartering headwind from the west resulting in a mere five knots of headwind component. Even if you escape the ice, it doesnt go away.

2700 Miles in a Cherokee Six

AeroSavvy

Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six Navigation equipment includes a Garmin GNS-530W GPS navigator and two VOR receivers for secondary navigation. I configured the airplane the same way as noted on the Piper Climb chart: 105 mph (91 knots), flaps 10 ° , full throttle. When we reached the OATES intersection, I pointed the Six toward Winslow.
