- BEECHCRAFT F33A has a Utility category at 3400 lb or less. Normal category applies above 3400 lb or with fuel in the tip tanks.
- The optional two-tank wing tip fuel STC adds 40 gal usable and raises max takeoff weight to 3600 lb.
- The F33A is on FAA AD 2009-25-01, a shoulder harness washer check, for serials CE-634 through CE-1536.
- Main wheel halves need a wear-limit inspection (Parker SB7106) at every tire change, annual and overhaul.

Tip tank STC: what changes
With the STC tip tanks (SA153EA or SA02722CH), BEECHCRAFT F33A carries 20 gal in each tank, all usable. Increase takeoff and landing chart values by 13.5% and decrease rate of climb by 6%. Range drops 6% and endurance 9% at max weight with empty tip tanks. Takeoff is prohibited with more than 1/4 tank fuel difference between the tip tanks.
Buyer inspection checklist
Check that the AD 2009-25-01 shoulder harness washer inspection is logged. Check main wheel halves against SB7106 limits. F33A serials CE-301 through CE-634 use Parker 40-83 wheels, and CE-635 and later use 40-83A. Test the landing gear safety system at preflight. If fitted, check the tip tank drains and filler caps.
Landing gear safety system
Where fitted, the system is a backup only, and normal use of the gear switch is mandatory. With the system ON, the gear extends automatically below about 104 kts IAS at low manifold pressure. It will not retract below about 78 kts IAS unless the switch is OFF. Preflight, use the TEST function and listen for the solenoid.

Safety notes
- AD 2009-25-01: an incorrect washer in the pilot and copilot shoulder harnesses could cause a malfunction and occupant injury.
- Do not take off with more than 1/4 tank tip tank fuel difference. In flight, if the difference exceeds 1/2 tank, land with flaps up.
- Spins and acrobatic maneuvers are prohibited in Normal category, which applies above 3400 lb or with tip tank fuel.
