About this Presentation

About one-quarter of all ABS-type airplanes are twins: Beech Travel Airs and Barons. Many aspects of the Beech twins are unique, even before you consider flying on one engine. In this edition of ABSWeb ABS Executive Director Thomas P. Turner focuses on flying Barons and Travel Airs, the distinct and sometimes incompletely understood systems of the Beech twins, and tips for safe and effective flight instruction for both the instructor and the pilot receiving instruction.

Topics we’ll cover include:

• By the Numbers flight in Barons and Travel Airs
• Baron and Travel Air fuel systems in normal and emergency operation
• Beech twin electrical systems
• Understanding combustion cabin heaters
• Real-world considerations for single-engine operation

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.
