About the Beechcraft Bonanza 36
The Beechcraft Bonanza 36 is the stretched, six-seat straight-tail Bonanza — the volume seller of the family and the only Bonanza still in production.

It cruises around 176 knots with strong useful load and is one of the most practical owner-flown family aircraft on the market. The A36 is the long-running steam- gauge/early-glass version; the G36 is the modern Garmin G1000 version.

Buying a Used Beechcraft Bonanza 36
Every Beechcraft Bonanza 36 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 $35,000 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.
