Beechcraft Bonanza A36 POH & manuals
The one legacy airplane here with a rights-cleared library: Textron gave the American Bonanza Society explicit permission to host Bonanza manuals. If you fly a 36-series Bonanza, ABS membership is the cheapest documentation you will ever buy.
2 variants · 4 documents · all links checked live
These documents are for reference and study. Editions, serial ranges, and revision levels vary, and none of these copies carries your airplane's weight and balance or equipment list. The current POH or AFM in your aircraft governs every flight.
Best source: American Bonanza Society
Membership required. 58 searchable Bonanza, Debonair, Baron, and Travel Air manuals, hosted with Textron Aviation's documented permission rather than as an unlicensed scan.

Open the variant that matches your airplane's model year and serial range. If you are between two of them, read both title pages before you trust a number.
A36 (1970–2005)3 docs
Six seats, double aft doors, IO-520 then IO-550. Loading is the whole discipline on this airplane: aft CG with people in the back row is easy to reach and easy to underestimate.
- Beechcraft A36 POHninelima.org
14.7 MB scan on an open archive. Copyrighted Beechcraft content; the ABS library copy is the better-provenance version of the same document.
- A36 / G36 POH performance correction notesbonanza.org
Public ABS PDF documenting known errors in the factory performance charts. Read it before you plan a short-field departure off a published number.
- Flying the Beech Bonanza (reference)ninelima.org
Technique book, not a POH and not approved data. Good background reading on the type's habits.
G36 (2006–present)1 doc
G1000 panel, 300 hp IO-550-B, and an AFM whose avionics supplements have been revised repeatedly since 2006.
- ABS online POH library (membership)bonanza.org
The route to a current G36 manual with clean provenance. Access is tied to ABS membership and their training programs.

The FAA handbooks are public domain and free, and chapter 10 of the PHAK is the clearest explanation of what each POH section is supposed to tell you. See the FAA handbook list →
