Deliveries To Begin In Late Summer
The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 and Baron G58 have been certified by
the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) for operation in
that country, HBC announced Wednesday. The first Bonanza in the
region, which is scheduled to be delivered in third quarter 2010,
will be based in Shandong Province in Northern China.

"The market in China for our entire
lineup of aircraft continues to expand, especially as the growing
customer base in the region becomes more familiar with the range
and capabilities represented by our family of products," said
Justin Firestone, HBC president, Asia-Pacific region. "With
exceptional records of performance, durability and economy, the
Baron and Bonanza provide another level of affordable and practical
transportation to both businesses and individuals."
The Baron and Bonanza add to the growing list of CAAC certified HBC
aircraft, which includes the Hawker 4000, Hawker 900XP, Hawker
850XP, Hawker 800XP, Beechjet 400A, Beechcraft Premier IA,
Beechcraft King Air 350 and King Air C90GTi.
The newly configured aircraft will include Garmin's SVT for G1000,
which uses graphics modeling to recreates a visual topographic
landscape from the G1000 system's terrain-alerting database. HBC
says the resulting virtual reality display offers pilots a
supplemental, color enhanced 3-D depiction of ground and water
features, airports, obstacles and traffic - all shown in relative
proximity to the aircraft.

The company says additional equipment
added to the Baron and Bonanza standard equipment list includes the
GTS 820 Traffic Advisory System and related hardware, the GTX 33ES
Mode-S transponder with ADS-B out functionality (replacing the
existing GTX-33), an upgraded GDU 104x Multifunction Display that
adds an auxiliary video port and provides for potential third-party
Enhanced Vision System certifications, and GRC10 and GRT10 wireless
remote control systems for XM satellite radio - all supported by
Garmin's FliteLevel five-year warranty.
