- Maximum weight is 4000 lb on the Model 95 and 4100 lb on the B95; each baggage compartment is limited to 270 lb.

Limits and loading
Model 95: maximum weight 4000 lb. CG range is +79.4 to +83.0 at 4000 lb and +75.0 to +83.0 at 3480 lb or less. Fuel per side: 25 gal main (22 usable) and 17 gal aux, with an optional 31 gal aux. Oil is 8 qt per engine. Speed limits are CAS: never exceed 208 kt, gear extended 130 kt, flaps extended 113 kt.
Airframe: spar and door
Mandatory Service Bulletin 2269 (SB 53-2269 Rev. 2, incorporated in AD 90-08-14) covers the wing forward spar carry-thru frames on Travel Airs, serials TD-1 through TD-721. Any crack must be repaired with the P/N 58-4008 kit. If there are no cracks, re-inspect every 500 flight hours. The brief ties the cracking to nose gear loads in landing and ground handling. Service Bulletin 2190 requires a cabin door latching placard and a door rigging check.
Gear, brakes and fuel system
Check nose gear and main gear down-lock tension; on twins the positive downlock must be disconnected to test the main gear. Mandatory SB 32-4125 asks Model 95 owners to review records for P/N 35-825094-4 nose gear plunger parts delivered between March 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013. Dukes electric boost pumps with carbon vanes can shatter; check the pump for Nylatron vanes. The D95A uses 7.00-6 main tires and 5.00-5 nose tires.
Safety notes
- Cabin door opening after takeoff led to loss of control or low-altitude stalls; confirm the door is latched before every takeoff.
- BPPP recommends against soft-field takeoffs in Travel Airs: lift-off into ground effect is below VMCA, and any power loss means losing directional control.
- Shattered carbon vanes in older Dukes boost pumps can reach the engine fuel pump and cause reduced or lost engine power.
