Robert,

Is there a reason why you don't recommend the bravo but for a select few
flights? Is it because of its decreased rate of climb? According to the
mfg, top speed is 240 ias and range with their extended fuel tank is at
least 900 miles. Curious for your thoughts? Perhaps the stats on the Mooney
site are for a newer bird?

Jordan,

I strongly suggest that you avoid using the Bravo for the Fly Around The
World except for those few flights (e.g. Nepal, Peru, etc.) where altitudes
of 15,000 plus are required. Even after saying that, the Baron 58 with
extended fuel tanks...

http://www.itsyourplane.com/ssl/data/2013-08-30.htm

will get to 17,000 feet, but will have a vertical rate of climb diminishing
to 100 feet per minute at the top of climb. This will cause ATC to be
screaming, "Please expedite your climb to 17,000".
