The Beechcraft 36 in brief

The Beechcraft 36 is the six-seat, straight-tail Bonanza: the A36, the turbocharged A36TC and B36TC, and the current G36. It shares its lineage with the V-tail 35 and the shorter 33.

Owners buy it for a large cabin with rear double doors, solid build quality and long production, which keeps parts available.

168 Beechcraft 36 listings are for sale across the sites Sprinkle reads as of Nov 12, 2026, built 1956–2025.

The middle half were built 1981–2007.

How the Beechcraft 36 performs

The A36 is a fast, comfortable retractable single with a large load. The turbocharged versions add altitude performance, and the G36 adds Garmin G1000 avionics.

By the catalog, the fastest variant cruises at 195 knots.

The longest book range across its variants is 1,000 nautical miles: still air, no reserves.

It seats up to 6 passengers.

  • Corrosion, and the condition of the control surfaces and their balance.
  • Any engine conversion or modification paperwork.
  • A pre-buy inspection by a mechanic who knows the type, chosen by you, not the seller.
  • Complete logbooks for the airframe, engines and propellers, with any gaps explained.
  • Damage history and any repairs, against the logbooks and the registry record.
  • Engine time against the overhaul interval, and the shop that did the last overhaul.
