Aircraft Model Overview (Reference only)

The 1972 Beechcraft 58 Baron is a classic light twin-engine aircraft renowned for its performance, build quality, and refined handling. Introduced in 1969, the Model 58 was developed as a larger and more capable evolution of the earlier Baron 55, featuring a stretched fuselage, increased cabin space, and improved payload capability. By the early 1970s, the Baron 58 had firmly established itself as one of the premier piston twins for personal transportation, business travel, and advanced multi-engine flying. Power is provided by twin Continental IO-520 engines, each producing approximately 285 horsepower in early 58 models. This configuration delivers strong climb performance, excellent cruise speeds, and dependable single-engine handling characteristics. The Baron’s clean aerodynamic design and retractable landing gear contribute to its efficiency and reputation for smooth, stable flight across a wide range of operating conditions. The cabin of the Baron 58 is designed with comfort and utility in mind. Seating is typically configured for five to six occupants, offering a more spacious interior than earlier Baron variants. The aircraft features club seating options, generous baggage compartments, and high-quality materials that reflect Beechcraft’s emphasis on premium construction. Avionics configurations varied widely, with many aircraft equipped for full IFR operations, making the Baron 58 a capable all-weather cross-country platform. Within the general aviation community, the Beechcraft Baron 58 is often regarded as a benchmark light twin. It has been widely used for personal and business travel, multi-engine training, and charter operations. Pilots value its responsive controls, predictable handling, and robust construction, while owners appreciate its long-term durability and strong support network. The 1972 Beechcraft 58 Baron remains a highly respected aircraft decades after its introduction. Its combination of speed, comfort, and twin-engine reliability has ensured lasting appeal, making it a favorite among pilots seeking a capable and refined multi-engine aircraft with a strong legacy in general aviation.
