Customer Reviews

Detailed and exacting - great for bonanza owners

Nothing takes the place of flying the airplane, but understanding the numbers goes a long way. This book was not the type of thing you read in one sitting. It is more like a manual that you refer back to over and over. I highly recommend it if you are a vintage bonanza enthusiast. The author clearly knows his stuff and gave me some good ideas that I use over and over.

A must for every Bonanza pilot

I just got a copy from Sporty's. I devoured it as soon as I started looking through it.I will be recomending it to my friends who fly the Bonanza. I expect I will re-read it again and again. It also will come in very handy towards making some placards for various speeds and manuvers.

Very clear & concise exploration/explanation of performance

This text goes directly to aircraft performance without digression. Clear and easy to read yet well documented. I have looked for a book like this for some time and am very happy to have found it. If you liked Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators (ISBN 1-56027-140-x) but thought it too long and too general you will treasure this book.This is an ideal complement / study guide to the aircraft manufacturer's Pilot Operating Handbook.

An excellent book covering practical tips

John Ecklebar is an outstanding Bonanza instructor, and this book offers some of his insights. John is one of the American Bonanza Society's instructors for the Bonanza Pilot Proficiency Program. Highly recommended.
