Beechcraft Bonanza A36 Defrost of windscreen

Featured Replies

How do you defrost the windscreen of the Beechcraft Bonanza A36? I had all the defrost settings I could find set to on but the windscreen was totally frozen?

I'm guessing this may be a Sim-specific question, so....What Sim are you using?

I moved this topic into the MSFS 2020/2024 forum.  You should get faster and more responses here!

Should be the same but the defrost is right below the Strobe/Beacon switch.

Yeah, never had much luck with Piston airplanes in the winter in MSFS.

Make sure the carb heater is turned on. 

Stay away from clouds.

MSFS seem to make it worse then it should be.

As I recall, though I haven't used it for some time, the defrost actually worked in the Bonanza (though I always fly Rob's modded Turbo version).

Unlike some aircraft, the Bonanza is not certified for flying into icing conditions, so you always need to watch out for that combination of temperature and moisture that can bring it on.  It does have a heated prop which is helpful for surprises (entering unexpected clouds on a cold day) but it's not meant to keep flying in those conditions.

I'll need to check on the heating and defrosting controls and report back to you.
