Peter, if you haven't already purchased it, I highly recommend you
obtain a copy of John Eckalbar's FLYING THE BONANZA book.
There are many things I learned that I did not know nor was I made aware
of during my checkout.
Regards, Eric

It must be good; they're not givin' it away:

They figure if you can afford to fly a Bo you can afford to pay $70.00 for a
book.

After touching down at SFO I was told: "keep your speed up...100kts or
greater please" This was on the ground to clear the 747 that was departing
on the intersecting runway.

Yesterday, while wrapping up my complex, high performance instruction in
a
Bonanza V35, I received my first speed restriction from ATC during the
approach back into the class C airport. "Bonanza XX, do not exceed 150,
number two following a Dash 8, cleared ILS 28 approach."

Wait till you get one that says, "Maintain speed as long as
possible":-))

I had been flying safety pilot for a friend who flys a Mooney. Later
we brought the Deb over to MBS for some practice. I received one of
those "Please maintain speed as long as possible"

He remarked later that had he flown the ILS at *that* speed we'd have
stopped some where out in the bean field off the other end of the
runway. :-))

Right Joe?

After a little more than two years of receiving "maintain best speed" in
the 172, this was a pleasant contrast.

On the ground, the instructor signed his name under the complex, high-
performance endorsement, a little more than 12 hours of instruction
later.

Years ago, I was flying a practice ILS 32 in VMC at CYOW in our
Maule:
http://www.pittspecials.com/images/maule.jpg

That's the nicest pic of an (older) Maule that I've ever seen. Nice lines
on a nice ship! Looks like you've moved on to a Pitts...

and I was asked by ATC for "minimum speed" after glideslope intercept.
It was a neat exercise to keep the needles centered under the hood during
the airspeed reduction to 50 mph ias.

I was grinning away because a cold front had passed, and the wind out
of the northwest gave me a nice headwind, so my groundspeed (knots)
was in the high teens, which is probably not something ATC sees every
day on the ILS ... but they did ask for "minimum speed", didn't they? :-)

Yep, they did. The ironic thing is that with the negative or reflex flaps
on my Maule, the easiest way to fly an ILS is to speed up. I don't know if
your Maule had a negative setting but my normal ILS procedure is to fly
cruise or slow cruise until GS intercept, then select negative flaps.
Depending on the RPMs, I get a 600ft/min descent with a touch of up trim at
115 to 125 knots. Fits into traffic real well.

The 80knots would have been a good exercise except that I was almost airsick
from the turbulence. Man, did I want to be on the ground.

Reminds me of college book prices.

It depends upon the aircraft. Some of the most experienced airshow
performers, such as Sean Tucker, Skip Stewart, Freddy Cabanas, etc
take advantage of the their wide-chord three-bladed propellors to make
high speed straight-in approaches (eg 180 - 200 mph) to very short
final. Then, the throttle goes to idle, the drag of the prop pushes
you forward into your shoulder harness, and you rapidly slow to a
normal
approach speed (eg 120 mph) for touchdown.


When I used to base my 172 at PHX, it was fairly common for ATC to
squeeze me in between a couple of 737s and request that I "maintain
120 kts until over the fence". For the old straight tail, this was no
flaps, full throttle and pointed downhill :-) With a 737 on final
behind me I knew this would be followed by "minimum time on the
runway, please". Over the fence I'd chop the throttle, pitch up to
the white arc, then drop all 40 degrees of flap and point the nose at
the numbers. Never missed the 1st taxiway with that approach. Gotta
love those barn door manual flaps!
