Under A065 she will indicate a tadd over 140 any higher and it starts to drop back a tad. If i cruise any lower than 5500 (very rare) i use 23' 2400. EGT peaks and then 75 off usually gives 60lph on the fuel computer. Use 74lph for climb or 17 on the fuel flow indicator, as one A36 doesnt have a fuel computer. I find she will also climb at least at 750fpm if you use 110 IAS. Much prefer them to the 210 as i said earlier!
Would be interesting to hear from other IO520'd A36 drivers!
As I said above my V35B at A090 on 2300/full throttle (21") and 25 ROP gives 140 IAS and 160 TAS.
My GS record to date is 245 kts enroute YBCS-YBTL.
Going into YBTL from the SW a couple of years ago I was letting down from 9000 at 193 kts GS, and was cleared for a visual appr straight in to RWY 01 when a QF 737 went over the top of me heading north to intercept the TL RWY 01 ILS.
There I am with the 73 settling into the ILS out my left window - and I am pulling ahead of him on a converging track for the 01 threshold.
Thought "Humm, this will be interesting"!
Eventually couldn't stand the suspenders anymore and the following exchange occurred:
Me: "XXX, am I No.1 or No.2 to the jet?"
TL Tower: "You're No.2!"
(somewhat abruptly)
Me: "XXX, ah OK, I better slow down then and let the old fella catch up"
TL Tower: "XXX is that a turbine Bonanza?"
(I suspect after looking at his radar screen)
Me: "Nope! It's just a quick one!"
TL Tower: "OK, I'll remember that for next time!"
Then of course, being Townsville, I had go for a right base onto 07 to let the 737 land on 01, when I could just as easily have landed on 01 ahead of him and turned off at the first taxyway.
I
WAS THERE FIRST!
