The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 is the dream of any pilot seeking excellent craftsmanship. Here is everything you need to know about the Beechcraft Bonanza G36. Stay with us till the end of the video to learn more.
0:48 - Cabin
The G36 has excellent visibility and is quite comfortable. With four aboard, it’s a luxury liner, but adding a fifth and sixth person makes things a bit tight. The Bonanza has four club-seating seats with armrests, each with large window views and plenty of natural light.
Passengers can use the Bonanza’s executive tables, which simply pull out from the aircraft's sidewall, to eat or charge their laptops. Accent lighting lights the cabin, while other conveniences like cup holders, headset jacks, and USB charging ports contribute to the ambiance's comfort. In addition, for those traveling in hotter areas, the Bonanza G36 includes standard air conditioning, which is uncommon in piston-engine aircraft.
A small storage compartment in the aft cabin area is easily accessible through Bonanza's wide-opening double cargo doors and is ready to carry heavy luggage and extras such as golf bags and skis. The rear cabin seats are also removable for heavier things and additional surface space to load the Bonanza, allowing passengers to carry around 400 pounds or 180 kilograms of cargo on board. The roomy and comfortable cabin can accommodate a pilot and five guests, with plenty of space for everyone.
3:33 - Cockpit
The Bonanza G36 is outfitted with the Garmin G1000, which provides autopilot and additional flight management tools to assist pilots in maintaining proper airspeeds and pitches.
The aircraft is outfitted with two 10.4 in high-resolution large format LCD displays, one for the primary flight display and one for the multifunctional display. Flight data, communication and identification data, engine performance, and graphical navigation are all displayed on the screens. To decrease the pilot's burden, a GFC 700 autopilot system is installed in the flight deck.
To supply attitude and air data information to the system, the G36's Garmin G1000 avionics suite includes a primary flight display, a multifunction display, a digital attitude heading reference system, and an air data computer. A GPS sensor, a GTX 33 Mode-S transponder, an engine control unit, dual navigation and communications radios, a traffic advisory system, and Class-B terrain awareness and warning system are also included in the aircraft. The TAWS warns the pilot of probable collisions with obstructions and terrain.
The Bonanza G36 operators are currently equipped with front-enhanced vision systems, specifically the EVS-100 and EVS-600.
5:32 - Engine
Newer Bonanza G36 versions are powered by a 300-horsepower Continental Aerospace Technologies IO-550B engine, a proven engine in the high-performance piston sector. The IO-550-B is a six-cylinder, air-cooled, fuel-injected engine with an overhead inclined valve configuration. It has a constant power output of 224 kW and a crankshaft speed of 2,700 rpm. The G36's propeller is a three-bladed, constant-speed Hartzell with an electro-thermal Prop De-ice system.
When operating in ice weather, the Flight Into Known Icing safety system protects the airframe, wings, tail surfaces, propeller, and windshield.

The G36 has a maximum range of 920 nautical miles or 1,700 kilometers, allowing it to take on a variety of tasks, even those requiring landing on short or unpaved airstrips. It has a maximum cruise speed of 174 knots or 322 kilometers per hour and a maximum limit speed of 205 knots or 380 kilometers per hour. The G36 has a takeoff distance of 2,180 feet or 664 meters and a landing distance of 1,700 feet or 718 meters.
