Today’s Top Pick is a 1981 Beechcraft A36 Bonanza.

While Beechcraft Bonanzas of all forms have been objects of desire for generations of pilots, the A36 model, with a lengthened fuselage and six-seat cabin, typically tops their wish lists. Its combination of power, speed, comfort, and attractive design ensure that it will remain a perennial favorite.

The aircraft for sale today has the rare addition of a STOL kit that makes the speedy Bonanza easier to slow down for approach and landing in addition to shortening its takeoff and landing distances.

The aircraft is equipped with GAMI fuel injectors, 100-amp alternator, B&C standby alternator, factory air conditioning, shoulder harnesses on all seats, and STOL kit for short-field operations.

The IFR panel includes a Garmin GMA 340 audio panel, Garmin GNS 430 WAAS GPS/nav/com, King KNS 80 nav/rnav system, King KY 196 digital com radio, Garmin Aera 660, GTX 330 transponder, Garmin GDL 50 for ADS-B traffic and weather, JPI EDM 700 engine monitor, JET standby electric attitude indicator, Stormscope WX10, and King KFC 200 autopilot.
