Safety notes
- Demonstrated crosswind component is 17 kt. Treat it as a demonstrated figure and keep your own margin.
- Sources disagree on baggage capacity (270 lb and 47 cu ft versus 10.0 cu ft). Check the airplane's placards and its own weight and balance.
- A preflight checklist for Bonanzas warns against flying with a loose exhaust stack tailpipe. Also drain the fuel sumps and inspect the fuel.
