Product Details

• The Beechcraft Model 76 Duchess is a light twin-engine aircraft renowned for its efficiency and reliability. Consequently, this aircraft is an ideal choice for pilot training and personal transportation. Beechcraft introduced the Duchess in 1974 and produced it until 1983. Notably, the company designed it to provide an economical and effective training platform for pilots transitioning from single-engine to multi-engine aircraft. Additionally, the Duchess features an all-metal, cantilever low-wing structure, a retractable tricycle undercarriage, and a distinctive T-tail. Two Lycoming O-360-A1G6D engines, each producing 180 horsepower, power the Model 76. These engines drive counter-rotating propellers, which eliminate the critical engine factor during single-engine operations. Furthermore, the Duchess can seat up to four occupants, including the pilot. It offers a comfortable and spacious cabin, a cruising speed of approximately 155 knots, and a range of around 780 nautical miles. This makes it suitable for both training purposes and cross-country flights. Flight schools and private owners alike appreciate its advanced avionics and reliable performance.
