What is the designation for an Arrow?

[AWACoff]

I flew an Archer today with the tapered wing. What is the designation for that....PA28? Thanks.

PA-ZT

If you mean an Arrow...it's PA28R-201.

Piper shows both the Arrow and the Archer as PA28's. The Archer shows a slightly (0.1 ft) larger wing span.

Correction PAZT is an Aztec, I am loosing my mind. They told me it would happen after age 45.

Thanks. I've flown an arrow before but when I tried to bring the gear up in the archer, it wouldn't budge. PA-28R it is.

PA28.

It's all in the wings....

If it is an older Arrow, (with the fat, "Hershey Bar" wing, like on the Cherokee 140), it is a PA-28R-200.
The Newer ones, (with the skinny, tapered wing, like on a Warrior) it is a PA-28R-201.
If it was an Archer, (wheels no move) it was a PA-28-180.
I probably need to get out more.

Cherokee and descendants

I agree with DC9stick's geneology.

Archer would indeed be PA28-180 or 181.

Arrow is PA28R-200.
