← Beechcraft Bonanza 36 family
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.

Buying a Used Beechcraft Bonanza B36TC
Every Beechcraft Bonanza B36TC faces a mandatory 1,700-hour overhaul, so the single biggest factor in used price is how much time remains before that overhaul is due — a fresh-overhaul airframe can be worth a large share of the $38,000 overhaul cost more than one approaching its limit.
What to check before buying
- Time to overhaul — hours and years remaining to the 1,700-hour limit; this dominates resale value more than total time.
- Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records; missing logs cut value and complicate financing.
- Damage history — any prior accident, hard landing or blade strike; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
- Avionics — a glass panel vs steam gauges materially changes price.
- Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
