  Beechcraft Baron 58  
     
 

One of the most versatile and popular twin-engine aircraft ever built, the Beech Baron 58 is one of the most dependable multi-engine trainers flying. The Baron 58 expertly combines performance, exceptional cabin size, and comfort, along with superb handling to present one of the finest training airframes available. A renowned workhorse, the Baron 58 has proven itself tough enough to handle the daily treatment received by top-performing trainer aircraft. Airline training departments document readiness rates for the Baron 58 at nearly 100 percent despite schedules that call for seven times more landing cycles per day than experienced in normal service. The logically arranged control panel on the Baron 58 provides effortless and concise instrument scan. Controls move easily at fingertip touch. All instruments and switches have been placed to maximize pilot efficiency and reduce workload.

Beechcraft first introduced the Baron in 1961 and the aircraft is still in production today. Simply put, the Beech Baron is the most economical way to transport up to five people in twin engine safety. The Baron was built to be fast enough to fly into busy, high-density airports. It is also a perfect airplane for shorter, unimproved airfields in the smaller communities that many of our clients travel to. With itfs large cargo doors the Baron can quickly convert into an excellent cargo hauler. This airplane is well equipped to fly through every season with full de-ice, color weather radar, and digital avionics.
