Our Plane

Now, a little bit about our A36 Beechcraft Bonanza. For the unfamiliar, this aircraft has six seats and double doors aft of the starboard wing providing a 12 sq.ft. opening for cargo and people. The main cabin door is forward, over the right-wing. The airplane is equipped with a Garmin panel featuring the state-of-the-art GTN750 as well as a GNS430. The navigation system is integrated with a KFC 200 autopilot flight director and the airplane is certified for IFR flight. The plane also has an under-wing wind-driven generator that will power the lights and avionics should the primary alternator fail. We installed GAMI injectors and a JPI 930 engine monitor to properly manage the big bore Continental. As are all Bonanzas, N1050T is a high-performance aircraft with retractable landing gear and a top sea level speed of 178 kt. The Bonanza is powered by a 285 HP Continental IO-520 engine with a three-blade “Scimitar” prop. This airplane was produced in 1976 (serial number 881), 31 years after the original Bonanza model 35 flew in December 1945. The plane, although having been around for some time, has been well maintained throughout its life. It has low total airframe time and we have recently installed brand new Millennium cylinders. We keep it in a T-hangar on the east side of the field at KPSP.
