Blue/white seating - brand new! *Note on 6 seat option: It is our understanding for the S35, Beechcraft introduced a longer cabin specifically to allow for optional 5th and 6th seats. These were commonly called 'Family Seats" situated in the aft baggage area and facing forward. These were designed primarily for Children, Small Adults and Occasional use. These were not equivalent to the full six-seat cabin found in the A-36 Bonanza. If the airplane originally had 4 seats, a mechanic can add the rear seats using: • approved Beech kit • STC seat installation • additional seat belts • revised weight & balance Sometimes the STC is simply the approval for installing additional lap belts and seat brackets.
