The Beech Duke is a great owner flown airplane with good speed (230 - 240 mph @ 21,000) and most are fully certified for flight into known icing conditions. It is as stable as a rock on instruments with adequate knee room for passengers in the cabin. The nose baggage compartment is more than ample.
Some things the Duke is not:
It is not a short field airplane without excessive use of brakes. 4000' is most comfortable. However, comparison with other light twins shows the same:
Beech Duke:
- Takeoff SL over 50' = 2626
- Takeoff 5000' over 50' = 3750
- A/S SL = 3500
- A/S 5000' = 4300
Cessna 414:
- Takeoff SL over 50' = 2595
- Takeoff 5000' over 50' = 3780
- A/S SL = 4255
- A/S 5000' = 5430
Cessna 421:
- Takeoff SL over 50' = 2335
- Takeoff 5000' over 50' = 3740
- A/S SL = 3630
- A/S 5000' = 5000
NOTE: Duke is on a par with other light twins on takeoff over a 50' obstacle and better in accelerate - stop distances. It is not a six passenger aircraft with full fuel (202 or 232 gallons) but neither are its competitors. See comparisons.
