Performance That Matters
176 ktas at cruise. 1,060 nm on one tank with 45-minute reserve. Nonstop Lexington to Miami, Dallas, or Boston without dumping useful load. Near-twin performance at single-engine operating costs.
Six-seat, single-engine performance with a 176-knot cruise, 42-inch cabin, and Garmin G1000 avionics. Every G36 in our inventory is logbook-verified, condition-assessed, and backed by transparent ownership guidance.
The G36 has been in production since 2006. Straight-tail design, no known structural ADs, 176-knot cruise, six seats. We have sold G36s to families moving up from Cessna 182s and business owners done with Baron maintenance. Here is what makes it work.
176 ktas at cruise. 1,060 nm on one tank with 45-minute reserve. Nonstop Lexington to Miami, Dallas, or Boston without dumping useful load. Near-twin performance at single-engine operating costs.
42 inches wide, the widest in the single-engine piston class. Six adults in club seating with individual air vents. 400-pound baggage capacity handles ski equipment, golf clubs, and car seats without compromise.
Dual 10-inch and 12-inch Garmin G1000 displays. Synthetic vision, terrain awareness, traffic alerting. GFC 700 autopilot flies coupled LPV approaches to 200-foot minimums. A legitimate hard-IFR single.
When comparing G36 listings, focus on total airframe time, engine hours since major overhaul (TBO is 2,000 hours), avionics generation, and damage history. We verify all of it. Every G36 includes digitized logbooks, engine trend monitoring, and coordination with your A&P for pre-buy inspection.
All G36s are available for in-person inspection at our Lexington facility, and new inventory is acquired monthly. You can also browse every aircraft currently for sale.

Speed and range make this practical for cross-country business. Atlanta, Chicago, and Charlotte are all under two hours from Lexington, with no TSA lines. Useful load handles full fuel, four adults, and 150 pounds of baggage.
Widest cabin in the single-engine piston class, with club seating that carries six adults and their baggage on the same leg.
The cabin is 42 inches wide and 49 inches tall at the door. Six adults fit in club seating with individual air vents and optional air conditioning. During a delivery flight from Wichita to Lexington, a client's family of four flew 2.5 hours with two full-size suitcases and golf clubs. Comfortable, with room left over.
Dual 10-inch PFD and 12-inch MFD with synthetic vision, terrain awareness, traffic (ADS-B In), and weather (XM or FIS-B).
