About the Beechcraft Bonanza A36
The Beechcraft Bonanza is the longest continuously produced airplane in history — manufactured without interruption since 1947, spanning more than 17,000 deliveries. The Model 36 Bonanza is the six-seat, straight-tail, high-performance single that defines owner-flown aviation at its finest. Powered by a Continental IO-550-B (300 HP), the Bonanza cruises at 174 KTAS on 14.5 GPH with a useful load of 1,030 lbs. It competes with the Cirrus SR22 and Cessna 182 — but the Bonanza offers retractable gear, constant-speed prop, and a build quality that justifies its premium price.
The 36 lineage. The Model 36 (1968-1979) was the original straight-tail six-seater. The A36 (1970-2005) became the standard production model with detail improvements through multiple sub-variants. The A36TC and B36TC added turbocharging for high-altitude operations. The G36 (2006-present) is the current production model with Garmin G1000 NXi avionics, Continental IO-550-B engine, and premium interior. The F33A (1970-1994) is the four-seat Bonanza variant on a shorter fuselage, lighter, and slightly faster than the A36.
Why pilots love the Bonanza. The controls are perfectly harmonized — ailerons, elevator, and rudder respond proportionally with minimal adverse yaw. The retractable gear adds 15-20 knots over a fixed-gear Cessna. The cabin is wider than a Cirrus SR22 and the rear seats actually fit adults. The Bonanza is the airplane that experienced pilots graduate to when they outgrow a Cherokee or 182.
Buying advice. Bonanzas are complex aircraft requiring knowledgeable pre-buy inspections. Gear system condition is paramount — verify gear actuator motor, squat switch, and downlock mechanism. AD 2000-01-16 (stabilizer spar inspection) applies to certain models. Continental IO-550 engines require monitoring for crankshaft thrust bearing wear and cam/lifter spalling. Check for fuel bladder condition on all models. The Bonanza Society (ABS) is an outstanding owner resource.
Market. 1970s A36 with mid-time engine: $120,000-$200,000. 1990s A36 with modern avionics: $200,000-$350,000. G36 with G1000: $500,000-$850,000. F33A: $120,000-$250,000. A Beechcraft Bonanza for sale represents the pinnacle of owner-flown piston aviation — nothing else combines this level of performance, quality, and heritage.
Produced 1970–2005.
