Operational Context
Beechcraft Bonanza G36 — high-performance six-seat single
The Bonanza first flew in 1945 and quickly established itself as a fast and efficient personal aircraft. Over the decades, the design evolved through numerous variants, culminating in the G36 introduced in the 2000s. The aircraft retains the low-wing configuration and retractable landing gear that defined the series while incorporating modern systems and a contemporary glass cockpit.
Powered by a Continental IO-550-B piston engine producing approximately 300 horsepower, the G36 cruises at around 175 knots (325 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight is roughly 3,650 pounds (1,655 kg). The cabin typically seats up to six occupants, with a range of approximately 900 nautical miles (1,670 km) depending on payload and fuel configuration.
The G36 has been widely used for business travel and personal cross-country flying. Its combination of speed, cabin comfort, and proven handling characteristics continues to attract owner-pilots. The model represents the final chapter of the original Bonanza lineage before production concluded in the 2020s.
