Description

Detailed Description A sharp, well-equipped example of the definitive light twin. This Baron has been thoughtfully upgraded and delivers the speed, load-hauling, and twin-engine confidence the type is famous for - the kind of airplane that turns a five-hour drive into a ninety-minute flight and makes it look easy. Nearly three decades on, the Baron 58 is still the benchmark every piston twin gets measured against, and this one shows why. Continental IO-550 power on each wing gives you honest cross-country speed and the security of a second engine over weather, water, and terrain, while Beechcraft's legendary build quality means it flies as solid today as the day it rolled out of Wichita.

Modifications

Continental IO-550-C Installed and overhauled by RAM Aircraft, professionally flown and maintained by a reputable pilot. These enginges compliment the Baron 58 well providing it with increased climb performance, higher cruise speed, and increased performance at higher altitudes.

Avionics

GTN 750 linked to two GI275's Shadin fuel flow gauge EDM-790 Twin Engine Analyzer Standby Altitude, VSI, ASI, HSI GTX345 Standby NAV/COM
