This is a 46 minute cockpit video shot in a Beech A36 Bonanza as the author demonstrates the power settings, pitch attitudes and aircraft configurations that work so well to add simplicity and precision to handling an airplane on instruments.
- A thorough ground school covering the whys and wherefores of the "by the numbers" technique. The tape provides in-flight demonstrations to answer questions like:
- What pitch attitude should you use on a missed approach?
- What power setting works best on an ILS?
- When should you drop the gear on approach?
- What's the best way to arrest your descent at the MDA?
"This video is about the hands-on, stick and rudder basics of flying on instruments. I have shown this method to over eighty Bonanza Pilot Proficiency Program participants and all have adopted it immediately."Bill Hale, BPPP instructor, board member
"How could one not be impressed with...the rationality of John's "Flying by the Numbers," which has caused a total change in my approach to flying the Bonanza."~ V. Bryan Medlock, ABS Newsletter
