About This Content

The Archer III is a descendant of the hugely popular Cherokee series. A single-engine all-metal aircraft introduced in 1994, its versatility and reliability have made it one of the most popular aircraft in General Aviation around the globe.

This simulated version of the GA (General Aviation) aircraft is high quality and easy to fly. Modelled to highest standards with a flight model made by an industry leader in the field, this aircraft is as near to an exact replica of the original as it can be.
