Which engine model is specified for the Archer?

The Archer is equipped from the factory with a Lycoming IO-360 engine, and the specific variant certified for this airplane is the IO-360-B4A. The IO-360 family is fuel-injected, four-stroke, horizontally opposed with 360 cubic inches of displacement, and the B4A designation identifies the exact accessory layout, fuel injection system styling, magnetos, exhaust, and overall installation that Piper certified for the Archer. That exact configuration delivers the Archer’s expected performance, weight, and reliability as described in the pilot handbook. The other variants differ in small installation details or accessories and are used in different aircraft or configurations, so they aren’t the Archer’s certified engine.
