Got it stopped before it began to roll backward down the
runway and did not have it do a tail strike!


A few years back, an unoccupied Seneca rolled backwards down an
embankment at Chester, CT, and hit a some really nice cars,
tail-first.

Not pretty... The entire tail section was trashed. A good case could
have been made for rear bumpers on airplanes!

There was no mention in the P Baron POH about the mixture
problem at altitude. Same engine in the turbo Baron and
Bonanza.


My much simpler '76 Sundowner does mention mixture vs. surface
altitude. What year Baron was it?
