Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an aircraft that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.
Today’s Top Pick is a 1980 Beechcraft A36 Bonanza
As pilots, we often feel like the only people we can really talk with about aviation are other pilots. That may be true much of the time, but as soon as you mention the name “Bonanza,” even your nonpilot friends are likely to know what you are talking about. Ever since its introduction in 1947, the Bonanza has been a star among general aviation aircraft.
The A36 for sale here is particularly desirable because of its stretched fuselage with six seats in a club configuration, large cargo doors, and good load-carrying capacity. This is a three-row SUV with wings that gives the pilot more operational flexibility than earlier four-seat Bonanzas.
With a low airframe time of 3,220 hours and 165 hours of engine time since overhaul in 2021, this A36 is ready to embark on long-distance family trips. Speaking of engines, this airplane was upgraded to the 300 hp Continental IO-550, compared with the standard IO-520 with 285 hp, and carries 80 gallons of fuel.
The panel includes an EDM-700 engine monitor, Garmin 335 ADS-B transponder, USB/USB-C, Stratus Pro, a Garmin GNS 430, KMA audio panel, KT-256 flight director/HSI, KFC-200 autopilot, and WX-9 Stormscope.
Pilots in the market for a premium piston single that looks sharp while completing the mission can take a closer look at this A36, which is available for $309,900 on AircraftForSale. You can arrange financing of the airplane through FLYING Financial Group. For more information, email info@flyingfinancial.com.
