Hi all, im putting together a knee board sheet for a new type but my googling skills seem to have let me down. Can anyone answer the following question. Thanks in advance.

Whats the fuel capacity to tabs of a PA28R Arrow III?

I have total capacity as 77USG with 5 unusable.

Hi Moona

I have flown various PA28 and currently P28R Arrow II and on the latter the capacity to tabs is 14 imperial gallons per side and 21 i.g. to full so the difference is 7 i.g. per side or about 63 litres. I have not yet found this important detail in the pilots operating handbook or flight manual, but it is placarded next to the filler caps.
Note figs are total not usable - refer to POH for usable

For the Arrow 3 with total 77 USG capacity, the fuel to tabs is 25 USG each tank less unuseable.
