Even then those big flaps slow them down in a hurry.


Bonanza flaps are OK. They're no Cessna flaps though.

Might depend on the model. Some Bonanzas and Debonairs are rated for
shorter landings than a 172. That's saying quite a bit when you are
talking about 3000# and up compaired to the weight of a 172.
