The Debonair is a sweet flying plane, as is the Bonanza. Straight Tail, V Tail, Bonanza, Debonair..I think they all fly about the same. Performance varies depending on how each plane is equipped. I don't think any of them in the series feel much different - until you get to the A36 - it's much more truck like than the previous models.
The Debonair started out as a sort of entry level bonanza and ultimately became every bit as nice as the V tail model 35s that most people think of when we say "Bonanza". Engine horsepower can be 225, 270, 285 or 300. The F33 is every bit as fast as the V35B (the last model of the V Tail version).
Investigating a Beech Debonair partnership. Thoughts or insights into model? What to look for?
It's almost beyond belief any person could first obtain a pilot certificate and then the required endorsements to fly a Debonair yet display this level of incompetence.
According to the final report, she got her PPL in 160HP Cherokee 140, then promptly sold it to buy the Debonair, a plane with one hundred more HP and retractable gear. The report didn't mention if she ever received either a High-Performance or Complex endorsement. I can believe she flew the cherokee well enough for a DPE.
