A Bonanza Victim of Flaps Before Gear Practices

IMHO, it's a BAD IDEA except in large turbine powered and transport category aircraft. The BEST idea is multiple GUMPS checks in the landing phase of flight.

SR20 stall/flat spin on 4th
landing attempt at KHOU. May the three souls aboard RIP. Never,
ever brain off on airspeed and slow climbing AND banking needs
to respect stall speeds.
Welcome to the
and IMPROVED CSOB* site with extensive content on how I care for and operate my Beechcraft
B55 Baron airframe and TCM engines. The site is also loaded with links to all my favorite
weather and
flight planning resources, so that when I'm on the road I can go to
one place on the web with all my flying related links.
After many tedious hours of html-ing, I
have finally migrated all of the content from the old single-page, never ending
scroll format to this more modern format.
Please enjoy this new format and let me know if you have an item worthy of CSOB
status!
This site was conceived and created especially for Beech List
Subscribersin appreciation for
everything that they have shared with me over the last ten years in owning and
operating my B55 Baron.
Visit
My N2023W Links page
for extensive background info and pictures of my 1965 Beechcraft Baron B55
during many engine and airframe projects.
Much of the content in this site is the
result of collective learnings and contributions from the
Beech List
and Beech
Talk
communities,
that I felt should be archived and shared with other Beechcraft Owners who may
not have the time or the patience to participate or lurk through the heavy Beech
List Email activity. It is augmented with many of my own money-saving findings
and parts resources that I have developed in owning and operating my Baron B55.

over 200 emails/day! However, priceless information and camaraderie is also
included. After joining please don't post to the list: "How do I unsubscribe?"

Email "intense" type of Forum experience with searchable topics archived
