Not knowing the exact figures of that particular airplane, it is hard to tell, but I found a figure of 1063 pounds useful load at http://www.raytheonaircraft.com/beechcraft/aircraft/pistons/bonanzag3... 1063-360-271 leaves 432 pounds for 4 people. 4 people at 170 pounds should weigh 680 pounds. 432-680= -248 pounds overweight. 3650+248=3898. 3898/3650=1.0679 of the recommended maximum takeoff weight. Is that a substantial amount overweight? It would seem like it, to me. Especially at a temperature of 107 degrees. How about you?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I ran the numbers through this calculator and it doesn't look like he was over-gross: http://www.csgnetwork.com/a36bonanzawbcalc.html The density altitude was 4592 feet, which would have had some impact on climb performance, but he still should have been able to climb at a decent rate. I wonder if the prop control was set correctly for take- off? |
