I'm probably about 74 knots when I cross the numbers so that's about right.

It's a 200 hp complex airplane. The cruise speed is for sure not 80 knots. I'm at 80 knots on final. Usually touch down at about 70-75 knots.

I think the Sierra does have an interconnect between the rudder and ailerons. I'm usually at about 80 knots on final. It seems like the Sierra likes to be landed a little faster than slower. Any slower than 80 knots makes for a very hard landing.

Yep, it sure does have the rubber dough nut landing gear. It's stout but very rough handling. Also, I was told it's better to slip over the runway because you're cross controlled and could get in trouble on final if you're not careful. At least you're over the runway and if anything happens...

I just recently passed my private check ride about a month ago and did most of training in a 172. I'm part owners of a Beech Sierra and have been transitioning back to that plane for the last month. I'm checked out in it already but I'm really not happy with my cross wind landings and it seems...

I'm getting ready for my check ride this week and this airspace stuff is kind of confusing. Seems to me a,b and c are relatively easy. It's d, e and g that seem confusing. Anyone have a good way to remeber all of it without forgetting something important?

I talked to her and it's one of the options I have to decide. It's just a far drive to get there and airfare is rediculous right now. I'm not even sure I can finish up if I go down for a week so I might have to go twice which is going to cost a lot to go down twice. If I fly i will have to...

Anyone know of anything in Florida?

I actually have a lot of time already like 80 hours. I just haven't been able to do it on a consistant basis as I own a construction company and when the weather is good work comes first. I'm also half owners in a beech sierra which is what I have most of my time in. Moving the plane to a warmer...

Any contact info on the place in AZ?

I've been training for the last year and a half toward getting my ppl. I've been soloed already and have passed my written test already. Weather here in Ohio is lousy and i just want to go somewhere and finish up. Anyone know of a good flight school/instructor that may be able to help me out...

I'm an owner of a beachcraft sierra and working towards my ppl. I found and have been told it's a lot harder in a complex plain than a trainer, and my planes a lot slower than a Cirrius. I have about 40 hours and am just getting ready to solo. I think you are better off doing your training...

The ones I had in the plane with me when I was flying with my old instructor were out dated. Actually only the afd was. The sectional I had was current. He told me it was not legal to fly without these. New instructor says its not the case. I do have current ones in my plane now. I just...

I'm working towards getting my ppl and would to get the written done while the weather is still bad in Ohio. Have the Jeppesen books and test guide that I've been reading. Was wondering what the best way to attack this thing is? I've also seen that they have the weekend courses that they...

Jeanie, looking for options. Have to do what it takes.
