Concerns:

*notes from the pilot for frequent questions: 

 

•  Range 1000 miles
• Can fly with one engine..
• After 1984 they stopped making the Baron 58 because the pressurization and ice were competing with the King Air. – You get the King Air capability for a much lower price.
• Auto-Pilot came as an all-in-one system from Duncan with the Garmin and the Avidyne.  Plays seamlessly together.
• Fast, does about 240 knots pretty easy
• Pressurization is pretty simple and smooth.
• There’s going to be a fuel burn issue until it’s calibrated.  Calibration would be after 20 more hours.
• Concern of time without flying – Western Skyways was backed up about a year with Covid, etc.
