Hi, My name is Talha Farid and just joined this group.
I just got my private pilot license and currently working on complex aircraft endorsement (which I should have by next month). The next stop would be high performance endorsement and then IFR rating. I plan to fly with my family (wife and 3 kids) and bonanza A36 seems to be a perfect aircraft for that. I am interested in learning more about it

Welcome to Beechtalk. This is the place to learn about the 36 (and the 33 and the 35).

And don't let the naysayers convince you that you should have a lot of hours before owning and flying a BE36. They are as easy to fly as any other complex airplane and easier to land than most. To be competent flying a Bonanza as a low time pilot you just need some good Bonanza specific training. Have you joined ABS yet?

You should also know that when the 3 kids get older you might need a bigger airplane than a Bonanza.

Welcome to BT Talha.

Welcome Talha! I used to watch pilots with zero time fly Bonanzas out of Farmington, NM and then hop into a Baron for their commercial. Within a year, you may get Baron fever!
I do miss flying the 182 and other Brand C singles but just love the Baron. Prior to that I loved the Bonanza and the t-tail Arrow.
The New Brand C has Air Conditioning and a chute but it’s a bit tight for 2 kids in the back let alone 3 kids in the back.

I have already been looking at baron but I think starting with bonanza and getting an IFR rating will give me some confidence (and experience) to upgrade to a twin. Let's see.

Hi Talha, yes this is a good plan. It seems you are a person of means, don't let your means outpace your experience.
