This is the story of owning and operating a 1993 Beech Bonanza A36 in the UK and some of its adventures.
On Saturday we agreed to go on a flyout that initially planned to go to Sherburn from Blackpool but due to poor weather this was changed to Wolverhampton.
We flew from Blackpool at around 1500 feet and got bounced around quite considerably in the Bonanza so we slowed to 135Kt but it still wasnt great.
On the way back we decided to go back possibly via Caernarfon (EGCK) and also fly IMC at flight level 60. The weather was much smoother at this level with hardly a bump on the return. We were overhead EGCK at FL060 but after a radio call we establised the weather wasnt great down there despite us popping out of the cloud for a few minutes and allowing us to look down on the field.
We carried on back to Blackpool at 200kt with a healthy tailwind. Being able to fly IMC really improved our journey on this occasion.
