Operational Context
Beechcraft King Air 350 — twin-engine turboprop aircraft
The King Air 350 entered service in 1989 as a stretched development of the 300 series. It features a pressurized cabin and winglets in later variants. The design balances efficiency with strong short-field performance.
Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A turboprop engines producing approximately 1,050 shaft horsepower each power the aircraft. Cruise speed approaches 310 knots (574 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 15,000 pounds (6,804 kg), with range near 1,800 nautical miles (3,334 km).
The 350 has become one of the most versatile turboprops in service. It supports corporate transport, air ambulance, and surveillance missions. Continuous updates have kept it competitive in modern turboprop markets.
