clean and beautiful Bonanza
$349,000 USD
Clean turbo Bonanza with a Garmin glass panel.
The Beechcraft A36TC Bonanza is a turbocharged, six-seat, single-engine aircraft known for its performance, range, and comfort. It's a popular choice in the single-engine market, favored for its ability to fly at higher altitudes thanks to its turbocharged engine and factory oxygen system. The A36TC is a variant of the Bonanza family, which has been in continuous production longer than any other airplane in history.
The complete and contiguous logbooks, and registration history, of Bonanza N11RL indicate that it has lived almost entirely in dry country over the past three decades. Most recently, this beautiful A36TC has been hangared in the dry desert of Phoenix, Arizona. Its recent Garmin all-glass panel upgrades make it a fantastic and very capable IFR platform. Combined with its turbocharged power and factory O2, N11RL is a fantastic cross-country contender.
Please carefully review the specs, the detailed high resolution image gallery, and the walkaround video below. A significant effort has been made to fully review all logbooks and document the specifications and history of this aircraft. If you reach out to me, I can digitally share all logbooks and important documents.

Aircraft Evaluation
| As the broker, I make a significant effort to represent an aircraft in as much detail as possible. I share with you not only the benefits and features I've discovered, but also the issues or concerns that I found during my extensive intake and deep logbook review process. I present dozens of detailed, high resolution images, and an extensive walkaround video. Please review this material in detail. All logbooks and other important documents are professionally scanned, well organized, and available for your review.
My goal is that any Buyer making the effort to look at an aircraft in person can first see the aircraft "virtually" on this web page. |
Exterior - Overall, the exterior of this A36TC looks sharp and clean. The paint shows significant depth and is pleasing to the eye. A little bit of sweat equity into a ceramic coating, and this Bonanza would absolutely shine. I found no paint issues other than some very minor chips around the engine cowling - typical for these aircraft.
The aircraft is always hangared, so the Plexiglas windows are bright and haze-free. Tires are fresh and have nearly complete tread.
The aluminum is in very good condition. I noted no hangar rash or hail damage. I had a difficult time spotting any issues with the exterior. I noted a very minor scrape on the right horizontal stabilizer cap which looks to be surface-only and would likely disappear with polishing compound.
The Image Gallery (below) contains close-up, detailed, high resolution images so that you can get a great view of the aircraft exterior.
Instrument Panel - The IFR instrument panel has been comletely replaced and upgraded to top quality Garmin components. The top-of-the-line Garmin GTN750 GPS Navigator works in concert with the G3X Touch glass panel MFD to provide a wonderful IFR experience.
A fantastic feature of this panel is the Guardian powered docking station for an iPad Mini. In a worst case scenario, this unit - which is completely independent of the rest of the panel -Â allows an EFB such as ForeFlight to provide critical services.
Please refer to the "Avionics and Equipment" list above for complete details of all avionics in the panel, and to the Image Gallery below for close-up images.
Interior - The interior in this A36TC is in nice condition. I am a little disappointed in the pictures that I took, as the leather on the front seats doesn't look as nice as I thought it looks "in person". The front seats do show some wear, as to be expected, but they are in nice condition. I saw no rips or damage on any of the leather, front or rear.
The tight weave carpet looks to be in great condition, front and rear, with no noticeable heavy wear. The headliner also looks to be in nice condition - no rips or damage was observed. Overall, the interior is really nice in this A36TC.
Please look at the high resolution images in the Image Gallery for more details on the interior condition.
Overall - Bonanza N11RL is an impressive A36TC, and one in which I'd proudly take family and friends on a long cross-country trip. Its Garmin glass panel will remain relevant technology for years to come, and the engine and prop have plenty of life left in them for years of enjoyment. I think the paint scheme and color choices are stunning, and with a little bit of polishing, this aircraft would stand out on the ramp.
Please reach out to me so that I may answer any questions you have.
