The Arrows I've flown generally cruise at about 135kts. I guess I haven't missed much! My Skylane cruises at 135 KTAS also, on about 13-14 GPH. The Tiger did it on about 9.5 GPH, I sure do miss those fuel flows... -jav |

I've seen 140+ ktas in an arrow 180. But I've only flown that arrow on one round trip. -- Bob Noel no one likes an educated mule |

Sure, the RG.

What about maintenance cost? Please post your comments. Spped wise they are about the same. The real difference is in takeoff performance. That may or may not matter to you. The Cessna kills the Arrow in that regard. For me any airplane with one door is a loser, and then they put it on the wrong side to boot. I'm 6'2" and can't imagine climbing up on the wing and then down into the cockpit with any regularity. |

The Tiger did it on about 9.5 GPH, I sure do miss those fuel flows... I get 135 knots -calibrated- at 9.2 gallons on my 200hp Arrow. (That's running lean of peak, GAMIs and EI engine analyzer, so it's going to take me a while to pay off the equipment with the fuel savings. I was using 11GPH prior to the upgrade.) -Jack |

The 182 holds more load but at a HUGE price. The 182 burns a lot of gas
to go so slow. The 182 also has the standard issues with the Cont 230hp engine, few owners are able to get tops to make it to TBO. The 200hp Arrow runs the bullet proof Lyc IO-360 engine that will easily make TBO. Of course, the Arrow is really just a slower version of the Mooney, but you didn't ask that. The Arrow and Mooney cabins are the same size (almost down to the inch) although both got longer in the mid 70's. -Robert, CFI (182s,Arrows,Mooneys, etc, etc) |
