I must admit, I've never flown a Bonanza"
Peter, you poor bastard, you haven't lived.
Chimbu & Notmyc152
very humourous regarding C210 (army blitz's that happen to fly)
In regard to the Bonanza crash, my calculations are similar to Chimbu's. The main unknown variables being BEW, fuel on board and PAX weight. If these parameters were high, combined with a tail wind, and hot and high
day, and reefing the thing off only 2/3rds down the strip.. and then trying to resist poling back as the terrain rises up at you.. maybe that is what caused it..
A big real life lesson for me
