High Efficiency Flying in Your Beechcraft

Course Description

Jerome Limoge takes an engineer’s look at high-efficiency flying in Beech airplanes using knowledge and techniques he employed to earn a world record for fuel efficiency set in his V35 Bonanza. In this program Jerome covers:

• Fixed-wing fuel efficiency theory, the physical significance of V_BG and Carson’s Speed, and airframe configuration
• Powerplant operation for high efficiency flight, with emphasis on large-bore Continentals
• Flight planning and flying technique considerations including route selection for winds and energy management
• The effect of common airframe and powerplant modifications on efficiency
