Hi, All. I'm 59, and got my private pilot certificate back in '92. Flew cessna 152's mostly, and 172 a few times. I loved it, but I didn't stick with it because I couldn't fly enough to be safe. But I look back on that time fondly. I have MSFS and love flying GA planes, especially the Bonanza and Baron (I have the Black Square Professional versions). There's not much info in the manuals about how to fly these things. The manufacturer documents are long on technical details and short on best practices in the real world. Google has led me here a lot. Sorry for taking up space in your membership list, and thanks in advance for letting me lurk and learn from your experience. Jason

If you're serious about Beechcraft models, you should consider getting a one-year membership to the American Bonanza Society (ABS). An annual membership is only $65, and it gives you access to a range of training videos and online courses that will help you learn about operating the aircraft systems and how to fly the aircraft using standard profiles for different phases of flight. You also can receive the monthly magazine (digital or printed copy) during the term of your membership.
