About the Beechcraft Bonanza G36
Type certificated 2005
Overview
The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 is the final, glass-cockpit evolution of the Model 36 Bonanza, a six-seat single-engine high-performance retractable produced from 2006 until the line closed in 2025. It pairs the long-bodied, club-seating Model 36 cabin and aft double doors with a 300-horsepower Continental IO-550-B, a Garmin G1000 NXi flight deck with electronic stability protection (ESP), and a GI 275 electronic standby. Built to the more demanding Utility-category structural standard, the G36 has long been regarded as a benchmark for build quality and control harmony among piston singles, and a 2022 gross-weight increase of 155 pounds lifted useful load to 1,213 pounds in the standard six-seat configuration.
The Bonanza is the longest continuously produced aircraft in history, with more than 18,000 built across 79 years; in November 2025 Textron Aviation announced the end of Bonanza and Baron production once the order backlog is filled, making late-build G36s the last of a line that began in 1947. For a buyer today the G36 is the turn-key, factory-supported way into the Bonanza: the cabin and payload of the A36 it replaced, modern glass, and the deep parts-and-service network of the long-running Bonanza line, backed by the American Bonanza Society and Textron factory support. It rewards the buyer who wants a recent-production, factory-supported six-seat traveler with modern glass avionics, and who does not need turbocharging or pressurisation to chase high-altitude efficiency.
Key Features for GA Buyers
- Garmin G1000 NXi glass cockpit. High-resolution displays, electronic stability protection, SurfaceWatch runway awareness, and a GI 275 electronic standby on current aircraft.
- Utility-category structure. Certified to higher structural standards than most Normal-category competitors, a longstanding marker of the Bonanza’s build quality.
- Six-seat club cabin. A genuine cabin-class layout for a piston single, with an aft double door that eases loading of passengers and bags.
- Benchmark handling. Crisp, well-harmonized controls and reassuring stability in turbulence, long considered among the best-flying singles ever built.
- Strong useful load. The 2022 gross-weight increase lifted useful load to 1,213 lb, broadening its practicality as a four-to-six-seat traveler.
Trade-offs
- Aft CG sensitivity. Like all Model 36 variants, it demands careful weight and balance; the center of gravity migrates rearward as fuel burns off.
- High-performance running costs. Retractable gear and the 300 hp IO-550-B put maintenance and insurance in line with other complex high-performance singles, above fixed-gear alternatives.
- Endorsements required. Complex and high-performance endorsements are needed, so it is not an entry-level airplane.
- Premium acquisition cost. New G36s carried a seven-figure price, and clean used examples hold their value accordingly.
- No turbo or pressurisation. Normally aspirated and unpressurised, it yields high-altitude cruise efficiency to the turbocharged B36TC and to pressurised cabin-class competitors.
