This Arrow Bundle includes both of the Just Flight PA-28R Arrow III add-ons for FSX and P3D - the original PA-28R Arrow III add-on plus the later PA-28R-201T Turbo Arrow III and PA-28RT-201T Turbo Arrow IV package.
These highly detailed simulations of the PA-28R Arrow III, PA-28R-201T Turbo Arrow III and PA-28RT-201T Arrow IV have been developed by Just Flight's in-house team following comprehensive, hands-on research with a real-life Arrow III, G-BGKU, based at Conington Airfield.
The PA-28R Arrow III is a four seater, piston-engine aircraft equipped with a retractable tricycle landing gear and constant-speed propeller – ideal for touring and instrument training. This package also includes two turbocharged Arrows. The PA-28R Turbo Arrow III, first available in 1977, was the first turbocharged variant of the PA-28R Arrow, retaining the conventional tail of the Arrow III and a new cowling which housed the six-cylinder turbocharged engine. The Turbo Arrow IV followed in 1979 and featured the distinctive T-tail which was common amongst other Piper aircraft.
The aircraft are flown all around the world and this add-on reflects that global popularity. In addition to our UK research aircraft, G-BGKU, this Arrow Bundle includes 21 liveries from the USA, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, Italy and the Czech Republic.

REVIEWS
Reviews for the PA-28R Arrow III
Mutley's Hangar Outstanding Award"Just Flight's rendition of the Piper PA-28R Arrow III is highly detailed and accurate, the visual quality is excellent, and it provides a faithful representation of the real world aircraft... An add-on bursting with quality and extra features and I would judge this product to be very good value for money... There are so many positives with this aircraft. In my opinion, it's their best 'own grown' GA aircraft to date... All elements of the cockpit are clear and easy to read... The external lighting of the aircraft is very good... The engine sounds give a good very representation of the Lycoming IO-360 four cylinder engine... The performance of Just Flight's Piper PA-28R Arrow III was excellent in flight... No discernible frame rate impact... Superb quality textures and attention to detail" Mutley's Hangar (Outstanding Award, 9.9/10)
AVSIM.com Gold Star award"Visually, both externally and internally, the model is as good as it gets... This is a superb add-on and I recommend it – particularly, if you are an avid GA enthusiast or if you need a well-explained, well-documented, and well-executed GA plane to add to your hangar... A visually stunning, highly functional and well tuned (for performance) model... I am impressed with the level of detail, both from modeling, and from systems’ functions... As a decade-old sim veteran I attest that the aircraft behaves both as I would have expected it to, and that it is a pleasure to handle." AVSIM.com (Gold Star award)
PC Pilot Platinum Award"The Arrow joins a growing catalogue of high quality aircraft developed by Just Flight’s in-house team... From a real pilot's perspective, I can tell you how true to life the cabin and internal features are... The Arrow's flight characteristics are as close as you're going to find without the feedback you naturally get in a real aircraft... It's a really well behaved aeroplane that the developers have recreated in the minutest detail. In my opinion it stands amongst the best examples of current flight simulator aircraft. If you’re a GA fan you’ll love it... The Arrow sounds are more realistic than most... [The manual] really is a superbly written and produced document" PC Pilot (Platinum Award, 95/100)
"Just Flight have done an amazing job with this aircraft. Making one of the highest detail GA aircraft out there on the market. Everything is there from the high quality textures inside and out, the beautiful sounds from Turbine Studio & all the other model aircraft systems and features. Everything runs smooth and did not find any bugs. I would recommend any budding GA fan or someone looking for very high end detailed aircraft for low altitude flying. Just Flight PA-28R Arrow III is worth a look." FSElite.net (9/10)
