“(with a CFI of course)”
Try the roundout at altitude to see if you have a problem.
Would the CFI be able to save the low-altitude situation if you couldn’t round out?
Would he let you do it?
I picked up some ice in my slab wing PA28 last weekend. Not much and had no effect. I descended into out of IMC and into warmer air and it melted soon enough.
Does anyone know which wing type carries ice better. The slab wing or the later tapered example?

The difference is very marginal for icing on descents…we can debate on climbs and cruise but without idea on excess power these questions are moot
That one looks really nice and correctly priced (a na arrow 3). Had I the cash,…

Does anyone know why the Arrow wasn’t marketed with an (I)O-540? It would be the next logical step, and the Pathfinder and Dakota airframes had the carburated version. Maybe to not compete with the Comanche? Would the nosewheel retraction interfere with the extra cylinders? Or was the Turbo Arrow deemed enough?
A comparison of PA28 wings from an ex-Cessna assistant professor. I’m not into the Hershey/taper wing controversy, but found the engineering perspective interesting.
Nice link, thanks!
Interesting read!
