Very easy in this airplane. This airplane made even me look good. Then I tried some stalls and found them totally predictable and benign. The lack of bad habits and the comfort of the cockpit make this an ideal platform for anyone wishing to move into complex aircraft We resume our climb at 850 feet per minute to reach our cruise altitude of 6000 feet and we settle down comfortably for a cross-country trip. It's not exactly a speed demon.
Aircraft design is always a compromise.
Now frankly, as an Aerostar owner, I'm something of a speed freak. It is said that when Ted Smith designed the Aerostar, he set three priorities. The first was speed, the second was speed and the third was speed. In the single-engine world, the Mooney is similar. The Commander 114B is big, solid, comfortable, easy to fly, well mannered, carries a lot, looks good, but it isn't as fast as others with the same engine.
