Bonanza Professional

Ironically, I've seen aircraft owners go through great lengths to find "door stewards" that effectively prop their doors open in all conditions. I've thought about this. Anything is possible, but as you can imagine, I'm about 1,000 "just one more thing" features deep at this point, so I have to prioritize some over others. In the meantime, you will find that the door is unable to stay open past around 60kts. I figured this was a good, simple compromise. Nothing looks sillier than opening a door into the wind at 200kts.

Hi Peter, you may not like this answer, but honestly, if I were you I'd wait a little longer until you have that bit extra to buy the bundle. It's too good a deal to miss and I think you'd only end up circling back to buy the other addon anyway and end up paying more long term... That said I'd ask if you have any of Nick's other aircraft? For example if you already have his TBM850 then you may want to prioritise the Baron pack as the Bonanza Turbine is very similar and you may enjoy the challenge of multi engine. Same with the Dukes, i.e. you may want to prioritise the Bonanza if you already have a light twin...I'd extend this logic to ownership of other quality addons like A2A Cherokee/Aerostar? If you have none then I'd probably go Bonanza as the package is so different with NA, Turbo Normalised and Turbine variants, I think you'd have pretty much all GA flying uses covered and then some (to be fair the same could be said for the Barons as well :-)) Or just go shallow and get the one you like the look of the most No bad choice here they are all superb it's just that bundle discount that's the main factor for me Cheers James

@Jannik-Stein Thanks for sharing. Despite making aircraft for anyone around the world, my regulatory knowledge is entirely US based. I wonder if there is a logical reason for this, like that most of Europe occupies higher latitudes than the US, and the tropopause is lower in the winter at higher latitudes, or if it just reflects a different appetite for risk.

It's not a show stopper for me by any means! I know the Bo just came out but I just noticed it and figured I would say something if anyone else was having the same issue. I have been looking forward to this bundle for a while especially the Bo. Thanks for working so hard on a quality product.

It won't be in the cockpit, but perhaps the opposite side aileron or pitot cover.

@Voice-of-Reason Alas, I must once again, cry myself to sleep each night until it releases.

what's the problem? no one is forcing us to buy!!! any work should be paid! if you don't like it, don't buy it. I'm completely on the developers' side.

It turns out there was actually an old post about the turbonormalized STC supplement in the Analog Bonanza section, and I was able to remind myself of what the situation was. I've corrected the numbers in the table. The RPM does actually make a surprising difference (8% reduction in cylinder displacements per minute, plus knock-on effects of the turbocharger not needing to work as hard thereby reducing backpressure, plus leaning for best power resulted in some 15% reduction in fuel flow) Also it's easy to forget (myself included) that the cruise climb table is not showing us the fuel flow at the target altitude, but rather the time-average fuel flow from sea level to our target altitude. In other words, the 25,000 foot target altitude line will show a much higher average fuel flow than the 25,000 foot maximum continuous power table, because it also includes all the time we spent at less efficient altitudes while climbing to 25,000 feet.

I'm awaiting the Bonanza bundle so very helpful Scott, thank you.
