POH = Pilot's Operating Handbook.

I learned to fly in a 1952 Supercub and if it wasn't placarded on the panel, it wasn't covered. Then again my instructor was a very seat of the pants crop duster. I owned part of a 1946 PA-12 and the POH for it was extremely minimal. Same thing with the rental Cherokee 140's and 180's I flew now and then. If there were handbooks they were in a filing cabinet some where and not in the plane.

And from a practical standpoint, if Cherokee "A" has the fuel selector set up one way and Cherokee "B" is a year or two older or younger and has it set up differently, it gets problematic anyway. The ultimate answer for Piper was a different selector and/or limiting it to "both" or "Off" options rather than R, L Both and Off.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up.
One of my old Life Ins buddies in Houston had a Steerman, and on his office door he had a sign "A midair collision can wreck your whole day"

in a Piper 180 it takes about 15 minutes to run one tank dry from 1/4 full, running wide open throttle........engine stops, push nose down a bit to keep prop turning at speed, change fuel selector to other wing........engine coughs and starts.......level off and continue flying..........

whats the problem
