The better Bonanzas
In the Beech 36-series Bonanza Used Aircraft Guide report in the July 2024 Aviation Consumer, there was a minor error when saying the 1984 model year brought the Continental IO-520 to the Bonanza 36. I know you know that the engine was the Continental IO-550.
But also unmentioned in the same paragraph was the Bonanza’s biggest safety improvement in 1984, which is the more standardized placement of the landing gear and flap switches. It’s gear on the left and the flaps on the right. Individual dual control yokes also probably added another layer of safety.
