■ Throw- over Single Control Wheel
Beech’s unique throw- over single control wheel and lack of
rudder pedals and toe brakes at the right seat in early Model
35 Bonanza variations were similar to “Staggerwing” and
certainly make a bold statement regarding what this aero-
plane was intended for. However, the lack of dual control
yokes, rudder pedals and toe brakes makes dual instruction
and FAA test flights in Bonanzas with a throwover yoke ille-
gal, with exceptions for instrument flight instruction under
specific conditions as stated in the footnote below according
to The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

. Adding right-
side rudder pedals and toe brakes helped somewhat, but still
did not satisfy the appurtenant CFR restrictions.
Even beyond actual dual instruction, this writer can
report from personal experience that checking out in a
Bonanza with a throw- over control wheel is an awkward
and unpleasant experience, especially, I suss, for the check-
out pilot.

This “the pilot is solely in command” system has been
and remains unpopular with many prospective Bonanza
owners, and has precluded such Bonanzas from use as an
advanced training aircraft in many flying clubs and schools.
■ D17S “Staggerwing” instrument panel and its throw- over control
wheel. Note: No rudder pedals at the right seat.
■ Late 1950s Bonanza instrument panel with its throw- over control
wheel and with no right seat rudder pedals or toe brakes. This
aeroplane has non- standard gyro instruments installed and a very
old- school “Radio Compass” indicator, but no instrument or receiver
for ILS (glide slope) operations and a single primitive, very elementary
combination communications and navigation Narco Omnirange radio.
