The Beechcraft Baron G58 is the current-production version of the same aircraft, and in the Palm Beach market it is the piston twin clients pick when they want a modern glass cockpit on an overwater leg. Same airframe, same two engines, updated flight deck and a newer airframe on the ramp.
The G58 pairs the Baron 58 airframe and its two Continental IO-550-C engines with the Garmin G1000 integrated flight deck, including synthetic vision and an autopilot on most examples. It seats up to five passengers, cruises around 200 knots and carries 1,480 nautical miles of range. Like the earlier Baron it is unpressurized. Every Beechcraft Baron G58 we arrange flies with an operator certified under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Beechcraft Baron G58 Fits Palm Beach
The Garmin G1000 flight deck is worth something on a Bahamas crossing. Weather radar, traffic and terrain on one screen give the pilot better situational awareness on a leg from Lantana to Marsh Harbour at about 160 nautical miles, where the weather over the Gulf Stream can change inside half an hour.
Airframes in charter service are newer than the legacy Baron fleet, which shows up in the cabin and in the ramp appearance. Palm Beach clients who fly the islands regularly and care how the aircraft presents tend to pay the small premium for the G58.
Intra-Florida legs suit it too. West Palm Beach to Naples is about 95 nautical miles and to Key West about 155. Both are short enough that the unpressurized cabin is a non-issue, and both are cheaper in a Baron than in any turbine aircraft.

Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
