The Airsafety Foundation and American Bonanza Society teach the pilots
to fly "by the numbers" and that means sticking to the book figures.
They require every pilot taking their pilot proficiency course to
calculate the speed for each landing and take off and they expect to
see you fly it. They do not want to see pilots adding 5 for the wife
and another for the kids and maybe an extra 10 for comfort. They are
very adamant about excess speed on landing being a killer


As always, Roger, your posts are very informative.

The ABS's pilot proficiency course schedule did not go out past spring,
but it looks like they routinely hold a course in a city not too far
from where I am based.

Acting on the advice of you and others in this group, I plan on
attending one of these courses by early summer.
