1978 Beechcraft A36 BonanzaSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1978 Beechcraft A36 Bonanza (N1588, serial E-1290) presents a well-equipped IFR-capable aircraft with a recent factory remanufactured Continental IO-550-B5F engine showing just 493 hours since its 2009 overhaul. The airframe has 3,715 total hours, and the aircraft benefits from a fresh McCauley 3-blade propeller overhaul completed in 2024 with only 10 hours since service. Notable upgrades include a Garmin 430W WAAS GPS, Century 2000 autopilot, Collins radio suite, BFG Stormscope WX-950, LED lighting, and an electric backup attitude gyro. The aircraft features dual yokes and a comfortable light grey leather interior with double club seating in average condition, complemented by a white exterior with tan and black trim described as good condition.

Maintenance highlights include new wing bolts installed in September 2024, with the next annual due October 2025 and pitot/static/transponder checks current through July 2026. While early airframe logs are missing from new until May 2000, the aircraft was recently imported to the USA in September 2024. The IO-550 engine upgrade provides enhanced performance, though prospective buyers should note the aircraft currently lacks ADS-B equipment (installation options are available). With its recent propeller overhaul, low-time factory reman engine, and capable avionics suite, this Bonanza offers a solid platform for both personal and business travel.
