I have never operated that way, but I don’t see a problem with doing it that way. The fact that you have been doing it that way for a couple of years suggests that it is OK to do.

I don’t know anyone else other than TCM that could answer your questions.

Send me an email. kristin at the aviatrix dot com. Let me know in the subject that you are from the Piper forum.

It is not in any system generally available. I could send the package I used, to Kent, if he so desires.

No idea if any other FSDO would do it. I researched and put together package that connected the part number of the turbocharger that Continental/Piper used, and the one that was used with the Rajay STC’s that are covered by the PMA. My understanding is that the Rajay turbo was a Rajay turbo was a Rajay turbo. Actually manufactured by Rotomaster. That is how I got the field approval. I presume I could do it for another aircraft with my FSDO guy, but whether it would work for anyone else is a guess.

No long ago I got a field approval to use the Rajay Turbo Products RJ0193 clamps on a Seneca II. The same process might well work for the Turbo Arrow as it is pretty much the same engine.

Same answer! No.

There should be no problem extending the landing gear in a turn. I have done it many times in the PA-31 series.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it would do a bit better than that, but it would also be weight dependent.

Have fun with my favorite plane. I love Navajos and have a couple of thousand hours in them.

I don’t think Piper ever established a number for glide ratio. I have served as a Director of Flight Operations for Navajos and been the company instructor and check pilot and have never seen any data. It would be different depending whether the props were feathered or not. I can speculate that the glide ratio with both props feathered, given the high aspect ratio of the wing, will exceed 10:1, but I can’t narrow it down further.
