In recent years, BEECHCRAFT handbooks contained most of the data now provided, however, the new handbooks contain more detailed data and some entirely new data. For example, attention is called to Section X SAFETY IN- FORMATION. BEECHCRAFT feels it is highly important to have SAFETY INFORMATION in a condensed form in the hands of the pilots. The SAFETY INFORMATION should be read and studied. Periodic review will serve as a reminder of good piloting techniques WARNING Use only genuine BEECHCRAFT or BEECH- CRAFT approved parts obtained from BEECH- CRAFT approved sources, in connection with the maintenance and repair of Beech airplanes Genuine BEECHCRAFT parts are produced and inspected under rigorous procedures to ensure airworthiness and suitability for use in Beech airplane applications. Parts purchased from sources other than BEECHCRAFT, even though January 1983 :Baron 58 (TH-1 thru TH-772) Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual outwardly identical in appearance, may not have had the required tests and inspections performed, may be different in fabrication tech- niques and materials, and may be dangerous when installed in an airplane. Salvaged airplane parts, reworked parts ob- tained from non-BEECHCRAFT approved sources, or parts, components, or structural assemblies, the service history of which is unknown or cannot be authenticated, may have been subjected to unacceptable stresses or temperatures or have other hidden damage. not discernible through routine visual or usual nondestructive testing techniques. This may render the part, component or structural assem- bly, even though originally manufactured by BEECHCRAFT, unsuitable and unsafe for air- plane use. BEECHCRAFT expressly disclaims any respon- sibility for malfunctions, failures, damage or injury caused by use non-BEECHCRAFT ap- proved parts.

Serial TH 1 thru TH 772 General REVISING THE HANDBOOK immediately following the title page is the “Log of Revisions” page(s). The ‘Log of Revisions pages are used for maintaining a listing of all effective pages in the hand- book (except the SUPPLEMENTS section), and as a record of revisions to these pages. In the lower right corner of the outlined portion of the Log of Revisions is a box containing a capital letter which denotes the issue or reissue of the handbook. This letter may be suffixed by a number which indicates the numerical revision. When a revision to any information in the handbook is made, a new Log of Re- visions will be issued. All Logs of Revisions must be re- tained in the handbook to provide a current record of ma- terial status until a reissue is made. WARNING When this handbook is used for airplane operational purposes, it is the pilot's respon- sibility to maintain it in current status. AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENTS REVISION RECORD Section IX contains the FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual Supplements headed by a Log of Supplements page. On the “Log” page is a listing of the FAA Approved Supplemental Equipment available for installation on the airplane. When new supplements are received or existing supplements are revised, a new “Log” page will replace the previous one, since it contains a listing of all previous approvals, plus the new approval. The supple- mental material will be added to the grouping in accordance with the descriptive listing. January 1983 17Section! BEECHCRAFT Baron 58 General Serial TH 1 thru TH 772 NOTE Upon receipt of a new or revised supplement, compare the “Log” page just received with the existing “Log” page in the manual. Retain the “Log” page with the latest date on the bottom of the page and discard the other log VENDOR-ISSUED STC SUPPLEMENTS. When a new airplane is delivered from the factory, the handbook delivered with it contains either an STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) Supplement or a Beech Flight Manual Supplement for every installed item requiring a supplement. If a new handbook for operation of the airplane is obtained at a later date, it is the responsi- bility of the owner/operator to ensure that all required STC Supplements (as well as weight and balance and other pertinent data) are transferred into the new handbook. 1-8 January 1983BEECHCRAFT Baron58 Section!

BEECHCRAFT Baron 58 General Serial TH 1 thruTH 772 SYMBOLS, ABBREVIATIONS AND TERMINOLOGY The following Abbreviations and Terminologies have been listed for convenience and ready interpretation where used within this handbook. Whenever possible, they have been categorized for ready reference, AIRSPEED TERMINOLOGY CAS Calibrated Airspeed is the indicated speed of an airplane, corrected for position and instrument error. Calibrated airspeed is equal to true airspeed in standard atmosphere at sea level, GS Ground Speed is the speed of an airplane relative to the ground. IAS Indicated Airspeed is the speed of an airplane as shown on the airspeed indicator. IAS values published in this handbook assume zero instrument error. TAS True Airspeed is the airspeed of an airplane relative to undisturbed air which is the CAS corrected for altitude, temperature, and compressibility. YMCA Air minimum control speed is the minimum flight speed at which the airplane is direc- tionally controllable as determined in accord- dance with Federal Aviation Regulations. The airplane certification conditions include one engine becoming inoperative and windmilling; a 5° bank towards the operative engine; takeoff power on operative engine; landing gear up; flaps in take-off position; and most rearward C.G. For some conditions of weight and altitude, stall can be encountered at 1-14 January 1983BEECHCRAFT Baron58 Section! Serial TH 1 thruTH 772 General Vsse Va Ve VEE VLo VINE VNo speeds above Viqca as established by the Certification procedure described above, in which event stall speed must be regarded as the limit of effective directional control. The Intentional One-Engine-Inoperative Speed is a speed above both Viyca and stall speed, selected to provide a margin of lateral and directionai contro! when one engine is suddenly rendered inoperative. In- tentional failing of one engine below this speed is not recommended Maneuvering Speed is the maximum speed at which application of full available aero- dynamic contro! will not overstress the airplane. Design flap speed is the highest speed permissible at which wing flaps may be actuated. Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed permissible with wing flaps in a pre- scribed extended position. Maximum Landing Gear Extended Speed is the maximum speed at which an airplane can be safely flown with the landing gear extended. Maximum Landing Gear Operating Speed is the maximum speed at which the landing gear can be safely extended or retracted. Never Exceed Speed is the speed limit that may not be exceeded at any time Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the speed that should not be exceeded except in smooth air and then only with caution.

METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY ISA OAT International Standard Atmosphere in which (1) The air is a dry perfect gas; (2) The temperature at sea level is 15° Celsius (59° Fahrenheit); {3) The pressure at sea level is 29.92 in. Hg (1013.2 millibars); (4) The temperature gradient from sea level to the altitude at which the temperature is -56.5° C (-69.7° F) is -0.00198° C (-0.003566° F) per foot and zero above that altitude. Outside Air Temperature is the free air static temperature, obtained either from inflight temperature indications adjusted for instrument error and compressibility effects, or ground meteorological sources.

Hg (1013.2 millibars), Pressure Altitude measured from standard Altitude sea-level pressure (29.92 in. Hg) by @ pressure or barometric altimeter. It is the indicated pressure altitude corrected for position and instrument error. In this Handbook, altimeter instrument errors are assumed to be zero. Position errors may be obtained from the Altimeter Correction Chart. Station Actual atmospheric pressure at field Pressure elevation. Wind The wind velocities recorded as variables on the charts of this hand- book are to be understood as the head- wind or tailwind components of the reported winds.

To be used only for conditions which warrant the use of this rating. Power recommended for cruise climb. The highest power settings recom- mended for cruise.Section!
