You don't catch, much less pass, any Bonanza at a lousy 142 kts
cruise. That means you might do 145 kts on average, 150 kts on a good
day, although I'll never believe a Cherokee goes that fast straight
and level.


If the Bo was flying at 50% power... :-)



That would be close. At 45%(19"/2100) I get 130 kts indicated.
