Re: Bonanza crash caught on video

The POH and the Air Safety Foundation say to leave the gear down until
past any short field object. The reason being under Vy it makes
little difference in climb ability while the gear doors cycling add a
lot of drag. So if it's a close in obstacle you leave the gear down on
a Bo.

Yep, I forgot to consider the gear doors.
