The Piper Arrow is a great choice for pilots in training who have little experience with complex aircraft. The design of the aircraft help pilots in easy transition from a training aircraft to a single with retractable landing gear and a controllable-pitch propeller. It is a simple retractable to fly, which makes it predominant. The retractable gear makes it more attractive and easier to fly, although with the same predictable handling as the line of singles in Cherokee where numerous pilots learned to fly. It is ideal for long cross-country flights as flying at 144Kn covers more ground in less time.
