Aircraft Financing Considerations

What Lenders Look For

  • Essentially a Bonanza without luxury trim—strong value
  • IO-470 engine reliable
  • Retractable gear = higher insurance
  • Parts share with Bonanza—good support

Pre-Buy Inspection Focus Areas

A thorough pre-buy inspection is essential before purchasing any aircraft. For the Beechcraft Debonair 33, pay special attention to:

  • Gear actuator and saddles
  • Ruddervator hinge condition
  • Fuel bladder leaks
  • Engine mount cracks
  • Magnesium corrosion (older models)
