FOR AIRCRAFT DEVELOPERS
Research aircraft and systems
Find aircraft background, systems descriptions and manuals for the aircraft you are researching. Each note keeps its source and version context close by.
Simulator manuals describe the developer’s implementation. Aircraft background is research-based; pilot accounts describe an individual’s experience. Coverage here is limited to the selected notes and linked resources, not the full contents of every manual.
Beechcraft 1900D
The 1900D is a twin-turboprop transport arranged for nineteen passengers. Beechcraft’s contemporary advertising emphasized a taller cabin, with 71 inches between floor and headliner, and the ability to carry passengers or cargo. That stand-up interior is the feature the manufacturer used to distinguish the D model’s utility.

Beechcraft Baron 58 / G58
The Baron entered the Beechcraft range in 1961, developing from the earlier Travel Air. Its retractable landing gear and two wing-mounted piston engines provide the familiar outline of a light touring twin. Several fuselage and engine combinations appeared over the family's long history.
The Model 58 and glass-cockpit G58 share a recognisable shape while representing different equipment generations. The simulator products span conventional-instrument aircraft and modern G58s, with avionics and systems described for each.
