Ultimate performance. Rare combination of 330 hp "ram cam" IO-550, Smith Speed kit give max cruise of 180 kts plus. VGs, flowed cylinders, Hartzell scimitar prop, matched injectors, offset mag timing, Osborne tips add "Lean of peak" range over 1500 miles and a useful load over 1500 lb. Wing spar carry-through and rudder ADs done.

With its reputation of ruggedness and reliability, the A-36 was selected 14 years ago for $100,000 of modifications for non-stop service between Boston and Jackson, Ms. Besides the saved hour-plus in flight time, the increased range and service ceiling coupled with decreased approach and landing speeds substantially reduced delays due to precautionary fuel stops, missed approaches in Dixie fog or icing over the Alleghenies.

Passengers enjoy $40,000 worth of comfort improvements, including a new leather interior, an extended baggage bay, yaw damper, super soundproofing, quiet exhaust tips, and an inflatable door seal. Earthling complaints from late night or dawn operations are hushed by the Scimitar prop and exhaust tips.

A WX-8 Stormscope finds embedded thunderstorms for easy avoidance. A Huntington Lift Reserve Indicator coupled with the VGs and an Aerothrust propeller thrust gauge facilitates access to sub 1000 foot private strips. The Century IV autopilot backed up by an all electric wing leveler and twin vacuum pumps give bulletproof IFR systems reliability. 

Engine instrumentation includes a Shadin Miniflo interfaced to an Apollo loran, for tracking fuel reserves, and the thrust gauge gives early warning of prop ice or engine problems. Individual cylinder EGTs give accurate lean of peak mixture adjustment and pinpoint any plug or injector problems for rapid troubleshooting.

A concern about avionics theft and newer units' cost/benefit has resulted in minimal panel changes. The reliable KX-170Bs, and KN-74 RNAV have been augmented with an NSD 360 HSI and WX-8 Stormscope.
