Overview

BEECHCRAFT D55 BARON is a twin-engine piston aircraft in the Beech 55 Baron series. The Raytheon shop manual applies the D55 designation to serials TE-452 thru TE-767. The supplied documents give no D55-specific weights or speeds. The 55 family reaches up to 1100 nm range, 188 kt cruise and 6 passengers, but those are family maxima, not D55 figures.

  • The shop manual lists the D55 as serials TE-452 thru TE-767; confirm the airplane's serial before ordering parts or manuals.
  • Both source manuals are Raytheon Aircraft publications. The shop manual is at revision E23, dated December 31, 2004.
  • Family-level registry maxima: up to 1100 nm range, 188 kt cruise, 21000 ft ceiling. Treat these as family context, not D55 specs.
  • The manufacturer's parts catalog warns against salvaged parts or parts of unknown service history.
