Weights and loading
The handbook lists the 58 at 5424 lbs max ramp and 5400 lbs max takeoff and landing. The 58A is listed at 5014 lbs ramp and 4990 lbs takeoff and landing. Wing loading is 27.1 lbs/sq ft and power loading is 9.47 lbs/hp. The entrance door is 37 in x 36 in and the utility door opening is 45 in x 35 in.
Engines, fuel and props
Each engine takes 12 quarts of oil. Fuel is 100LL preferred, with 100 (green) as the minimum grade. Maximum cruise power is 24.5 in. Hg at 2500 rpm. The handbook lists Hartzell and McCauley props in 2-blade and 3-blade versions, so check which set is fitted. A simulator manual says later aircraft use IO-550-C engines at 300 BHP and calls fuel burn the Baron's main downside.
Avionics upgrade cost
Dynon's June 2024 price sheet lists a Baron 58/58A SkyView HDX autopilot install kit (pitch, roll, yaw brackets and hardware) at $8,300. The STC permission letter is $5,000. Baron 58/58A packages with autopilot are listed from $26,900 to $49,900, depending on the equipment level chosen.

Safety notes
- AD/BEECH 55/98 Amdt 1 (CASA, effective 27 February 2012): inspect the forward elevator cable for wear, broken wires and corrosion, or replace it. A failure could cause loss of control.
- Stall can occur above VMCA at some weights and altitudes. The handbook says stall speed is then the limit of effective directional control.
- The handbook does not recommend intentionally failing one engine below the intentional one-engine-inoperative speed.
