The Arrow has a healthy sink rate the requires some extra speed initially to keep the sink rate below 500 fpm. Sink rate (and rate of climb) is a function of power not airspeed. Excess power...you go up, more excess power and you go up faster. Same for a deficiency of power, the greater the deficiency, the faster you go down. A 500 fpm rate of descent can be flown at "almost" any airspeed by using an appropriate power setting. Bob Moore
