About this Presentation
Addition of an aftermarket turbocharging system—a turbonormalizer—is a popular modification for many Bonanza owners. Kevin Crozier is a BPPP instructor, FAA Designated Engineering Representative (DER) and an independent consultant to Tornado Alley Turbo. In this program Kevin will address considerations for installing and operating a turbonormalized airplane, including:

• Determining if a turbonormalized Bonanza or upgrading your own Bonanza is right for you.
• How to safely and efficiently operate your turbonormalized Bonanza in all phases of flight.
• How to handle emergencies in turbonormalized aircraft.

Viewers will be able to type in their questions to be answered during the event. We’ll explain how to do so at the beginning of the webinar.

Although this American Bonanza Society program is oriented toward pilots of Beech Bonanzas, Debonairs, Barons and Travel Airs, the discussion, techniques and procedures described are valuable to the pilot of any airplane.
