FLIGHT International, IS January 1973 s Sundowner Three of the best from Beech Sierra How do you better the best on the market? Beech show the way with improvements to their popular pair, the 200 hp fuel injection Sierra and 180 hp Sundowner. Outstanding visibility has always been a feature of these models.Thanksto the new low-profile instrument panel and padded glareshield, visibility is even better. The entire windshield area is now completely unobstructed. Handling ? Pilots who know these sturdy, stable singles have a word for it: beautiful. Yet Beech have ensured even easier handling by introducing a new multi-engine type quadrant and even better control response. Cbmfort ? Convenience ? Not forgotten by any means : the really roomy cabins have been richly restyled in three colours, from curtains to carpeting. The Sierra now has a 6J" incline on the optional 5th/6th seats for extra passenger comfort as well as a large rear entry door for easier loading. Inertial shoulder harness is standard for front seats. Boron Moving up to a twin? For a smooth transition from a single, the Beech Baron is the easy answer. Superb all-rounder, docile as a dove, joy to handle, the true pilot's aircraft - that's the Baron in a nutshell. This Beech best-seller sees off competitors with these unbeatable figures: up to 242 mph, 1200 miles range, take off/landing runs of only 596 and 866 feet. As its landing gear will withstand a vertical descent rate of over 600 ft/min at full gross weight, the Baron is an ideal choice for operation from unimproved fields. The Baron 58, most popular of the range, has a spacious six-seat cabin and is the only light twin in its class to offer a four-place club seating as well as two front seats. There's no question that the Baron outsold its rivals almost 2 to 1 in 1972. And it's even better now.
