anyone point me to an online copy of the flight maual, or perhaps some of
the pertinent information? I've got a couple of hours in a PA32-260 some
years ago, and will have a copy of the manual available when I pick up the
airplane, however I would like to prepare myself somewhat. Any warnings or
items I should watch out for?

Thanks,

Best glide is 110 MPH if I remember correctly. If you need it, pick
something pretty much right below you.

Other than that, just a fat Cherokee.

Be safe and Have fun!

Yea, and the nose blocks a lot of the view up front when landing.... ;-0

Al, if you need pages from a manual, let me know, I can scan them and
email them to you.
Where will you be picking it up and flying it to?

Thanks John, I'd appreciate that, amybe just one of the intro specification
pages, best rate, gross weight, etc. Also, I just got a fax, The aircraft
is a:

1974 PIPER CHEROKEE 6/300, S/N: 32-7440103, N77RH, 1880 TT, 10 SPOH, Garmin
GNS-430, All Logs, No Damage.

The probable new owner and I will be moving it from Bend, Ore, SO7, to
Roseburg, KRBG, thursday afternoon.

I've got 1k hrs in a TU206, so I'm probably used to the right rudder
requirement.

A different beast than the Cessna - sounds like a nice plane. Watch not to exceed forward CG limits in the 300...

You should do alright.
One thing I forgot... the PA32-300 can be a real bitch to hot start.
Unlike the Continentals on the Cessna's, the Lycoming fuel injecteds do
not have a return line that you can purge by keeping the throttle open
and mixture full lean/closed with the fuel pump on.
The flooded procedure seems to work best.
I will scan the pertinent pages.
Send me an email to , and I will forward them to you.
If you aren't familiar with the G430, you can download a PDF file from
the Garmin website.

You can get a POH and checklist for a PA32-260 here- http://www.bomar.biz/
Hope this helps.
