Overview

The Beechcraft King Air 350i at a glance

The 350i serves three missions. First, unpaved and short-runway destinations that jets cannot reach: skydiving in Croatia, alpine airfields, resource-industry work in remote locations. Second, low-altitude regional flying under 500 nm where jet climb-and-descent penalties eat their cruise advantage. Third, safety-conscious buyers wanting two engines but not the cost or complexity of a light jet. The 350i cabin has a stand-up section (only ~1.47 m ceiling but flat floor and wide layout) that seats up to 9 in club and side-facing configurations. Operating cost is roughly half of a comparable light jet on the same mission.

How much does a King Air 350i cost?

Fixed costs (crew, hangar, insurance, subscriptions) run about 150,000 to 250,000 USD per year. Variable costs are 1,200 to 1,800 USD per flight hour. At 300 hours per year, all-in operating cost lands near 550,000 to 800,000 USD.
How many crew does the King Air 350i need?
Charter operations use two pilots. The type is certified for single-pilot IFR operations, but most Part 135 (US) and CAT charter operators require two crew for insurance and duty-time reasons.
Where is the King Air 350i built?
Textron Aviation manufactured the King Air 350i at Wichita, Kansas, USA, the same facility that produces the current King Air 360 and Citation family.
When did the King Air 350 first fly?
The Super King Air 350 was launched in 1988. The 350i variant with Pro Line 21 avionics and updated cabin entered service in 2009. Production ended in 2020 with the introduction of the King Air 360.
Is the King Air 350i still in production?
No. Textron replaced it with the King Air 360 in 2020. The 360 shares the same airframe and PT6A-60A engines with an autothrottle upgrade, digital pressurisation, and refreshed cabin.
What engines does the King Air 350i use?
Two Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6A-60A turboprops producing 1,050 shaft horsepower each. The PT6 family is the most produced turbine engine in aviation with millions of hours of proven service.
How does the King Air 350i compare to a Pilatus PC-12?
The 350i has two engines against the PC-12's single. Speed is similar (312 kts vs 290 kts). Cabin height is close (1.47 m vs 1.47 m). The PC-12 has slightly more range on one engine and lower fuel burn; the 350i offers twin-engine redundancy that many corporate flight departments require.
Can the King Air 350i use unpaved runways?
Yes. Grass, gravel and hard-packed dirt strips are within the King Air's certification, and 3,000 ft strips are comfortably within its performance envelope at typical charter weights.
What is the baggage capacity?
1,472 litres or about 52 cubic feet in the aft compartment accessible externally. Enough for 9 passengers with overnight bags and skis.
