Yesterday, a dull cloudy but flyable day was brightened up with the arrival of a Beechcraft Bonaza G36. From Cannes heading to Quiberon it had stopped off at Limoges for fuel. The 300hp, six seater with ‘club sitting’ and full G1000 ‘glass cockpit’ is the best SEP aircraft money can buy according to the owner and the Chief Flight Instructor of the Aéroclub de Limoges.
With a cruising speed of 180knts (202mph) at FL85, a range of 870nm and with a takeoff distance the same of that of a Robin the Bonanza outperforms all other aircraft in its class.*
F-HDBM is the only one of its type registered in France and is currently on a provisional registration as all the paperwork has yet to be completed as it is only one and a half years hold.

Unfortunately with a risk of storms, the pilots wanted to make sure that they arrived at their destination airfield so had to depart. They tookoff on Runways 21 from the intersection Charlie and the Bonanza G36 showed off her performance, taking off after a short takeoff run and a powerful steep climb into the sky.
