Bonanza Down in AZ

news:3MSEf.55542$V.20539@fed1read04... That's what the Lufthansa Flight School does.. Primary Training in a Bonanza.. not any different from the Air Force using T-37s to the Navy using T-34Cs BT It is different. The Air Force does not stick zero-time students into the T-37 and the same goes for the Navy.

My first thought is WTF is she doing in a Bonanza?
wrote in message ... CBS noon news reported the crash of a Bonanza out of the Lufthansa Flight Training School at Goodyear Airport. The student pilot was a 22 yr-old woman, here from Germany since December, with 49 total hours, 5+ solo hours, on what was supposed to be an hour-long solo flight. No emergency radio calls were made, and the report said there is no indication of what may have gone wrong so far. |

I've got very little Bo' time, but it seemed to me to be the easiest airplane to fly that I'd ever flown--particularly in the landing phase. Wonderfully harmonized controls. If you could manage to remember to put the gear up and down, I think a Bo' would make a dandy trainer (except for the cost, of course). The Navy certainly thought so for a long time. -- Dan C172RG at BFM |

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. |
