Is the A36 still in production? I thought it had been replaced
recently by a very similar but somewhat updated model.

G36 replaced the A36. The only real difference is the new Garmin 1000
glass panel. Similarly, the B58 Baron is now the G58 Baron with the
same panel.

Can you get these aircraft without the glass panel? The last thing
I'd want is a Garmin 1000.

Not to worry... on your income, it's a non-issue.

That doesn't answer the question. Can these aircraft still be had
without the PC clone in the cockpit?

I think the G1000 has become standard equipment on both planes now

But can you get them without the G1000, with more reliable avionics?

With enough money, you can get whatever you want. However, to go way back
to an earlier discussion, there is no evidence that suggests that a G1000
is less reliable than traditional gauges.

I'll wait 15 years or so for the evidence to accumulate, and then
we'll see. In the meantime, someone else can be the pioneer and take
the risks.

You'll be sure to let us know when you're willing to take the risk of
actually flying an airplane.
