Questions from a new Bonanza pilot

[JEHill]

I’ve been reading the forum, and I have several questions as a result.

1. People mention flying at 50 ROP. Is peak EGT simply the temperature reached once the mixture is lean enough to cause engine roughness? To reach 50 ROP, you add enough fuel back into the mix to cool this off by 50 degrees? I’ve been adding just a couple percent fuel back into the mixture to smooth out the engine, and this typically leaves me at 20-30 ROP. (Based on how I’ve defined it.)

2. What is a typical cruising altitude? The manual says that the ceiling is 17,000 ft, but I don’t see any pressurization equipment in the plane, so can you realistically fly that high?

3. Do you guys have any links to more in depth resources for this plane? Various YouTubers have mentioned that the avionics work just like the real ones, so I should read those manuals. Where can you get them though?

Thanks,
Gladius
