Adds About Eight Cubic Feet Of Storage Space On Older-Model Bonanzas
The FAA has awarded an STC/PMA to Approach Aviation for its SmartSpace Extended Baggage Compartment for pre-1979 Beechcraft Bonanza 36 & A36 aircraft, providing owners of these aircraft with the increased utility of the latest Beechcraft Bonanzas.
The SmartSpace Extended Baggage Compartment installs behind the rearmost passenger seats in the Beech 36/A36, adding approximately 8 cubic feet of storage area, while retaining the existing hat shelf area for easy in-flight access to smaller objects. The SmartSpace Extended Baggage Compartment has a footprint similar to post-1979 A36 Bonanza aircraft and is certified for the same 70 lb. maximum loading capacity (C.G. Envelope limits must be observed).
The SmartSpace Extended Baggage Compartment’s patent-pending design makes installation simple, typically requiring 1-2 days to complete. The modular design of the SmartSpace conversion makes future compartment removal/installation possible in a matter of minutes, simplifying inspection and maintenance operations.
The SmartSpace Extended Baggage Compartment kit includes the support components, single-piece compartment, cargo net and all hardware necessary for typical installations. In addition, the innovative cargo net design combines the baggage restraint with new seat straps for securing the rear seats in the folded position.
SmartSpace baggage conversion features:
- Approximately 8 cubic feet of additional storage space.
- Same 70 lb structural capacity as post-1979 A36 aircraft.
- Typical installations can be completed in 1-2 days.
- Can be removed for maintenance access in minutes.
- Includes innovative cargo net with integrated seat straps.
- Installed weight approx. 10 lbs. (includes removal of rear bulkhead cover).
