The Piper 28 Arrow is a popular two-seat, general aviation aircraft. It is well-suited for basic training, cross-country flights, and recreational flying. Piper did an excellent job in designing an aircraft with a low-cost, yet reliable and efficient powerplant, the Lycoming O-360. The aircraft is also known for its forgiving handling characteristics and good short-field performance.

Piper also did very well in designing the aircraft with a strong airframe and reliable systems. The aircraft has a good range and a service ceiling of nearly 20,000 feet. The Arrow also features a Roomy, comfortable cabin with plenty of room for two people.

However, there are areas where Piper can do better. The aircraft is known to have a tendency to be tail heavy, and Piper should consider redesigning the aircraft to make it more balanced. Additionally, the instrument panel can be crowded, and Piper should consider redesigning the panel to make it more user friendly. Finally, the Arrow has limited baggage storage and Piper should consider increasing the amount of storage available.

Overall, the Piper 28 Arrow is a great aircraft that has been well-designed by Piper. It is reliable, efficient, and comfortable, and it is well suited for basic training, cross-country flights, and recreational flying. With some improvements in areas such as weight balance, instrument panel design, and baggage storage, the Piper 28 Arrow could become an even better aircraft.
