Bonanza Down in AZ
Can it be done? Yes, of course. If anything out of the
ordinary happens, however, or if a 40-hr solo pilot (or ANY pilot for
that matter) gets confused or distracted, they could get behind the
airplane VERY quickly in a Bo. Add the add'l tasks associated with a
complex aircraft to the mix and someone could be in big trouble a lot
faster than in a Cherokee or a C172. I know that's part of the training,
but things just happen very fast in that airplane. *Just my opinion.*
Put the landing gear down and you have a fixed gear airplane.
Push the mixture and prop levers forward and you have a non-high
performance engine.
The only difference from other airplanes on the Bonanza and Baron is the
fuel pump. Turn the fuel pump on when the engine driven pump is
operating and the engine will flood.
