The Beechcraft Sundowner is not a plane you hear much about. It’s an older 4 seater, true crosscountry aircraft that perhaps have been sideswiped by its bigger competitors, namely the piper cherokee/arrows and Cessna 172.
But this aircraft is legitimately one of the better planes to fly for new pilots. Whether you’re just a beginning, training for your next ticket or just need an airplane to build time, you need not look any further.

Now we will put a big emphasis on building time because the Beechcraft Sundowner is not the quickest plane in it’s class. Expect only about 105kt 110kt in cruise. So roughly 120 mph. And you’d be burning close to 12 gallons of fuel per hour at that cruise speed.

A well maintained Sundowner can be had for $40k $50k. Maintenance may pose some challenges if something breaks. One of the reasons some pilots shy away from the Sundowner is because there isn’t readily available parts like the Cherokees.

Here are some performance specs for the Beechcraft Sundowner

Engine: 180HP Lycoming
Useful load: 948 pounds
Baggage capacity: 270 pounds
Fuel capacity: 58 gallons
