I was able to purchase the two King 350i demonstrators from Textron in 2016 for our charter operation replacing our vintage 1986 King Air 200. We added them to our certificate and got them flying 135 very quickly. Beautiful aircraft.
i used to want a king air, now i need one! this is so cool to have a real walk around, from someone who knows the historic king airs... i can not tell you how much i love this video.... thank you for posting. and happy landings. 100!
Hello, We are an aircraft broker, so 99% of the aircraft we sell are pre-owned. If you send an email to sales@jetaviva.com, our King Air expert can answer any other questions you may have!
There are King Air's operating in and out of a small regional airport in our town with a 3,900 foot runway. Is that not pushing the aircraft's performance envelope a bit?
Hello Siba, this aircraft is no longer for sale, but we do have King Air 350 SN FL-502 currently on the market if you are interested: www.jetaviva.com/inventory/1546889778/Beechcraft/King-Air-350/FL-502
Good question, Charles. First, you can buy a KA350 for less than an M2, though it (350) may be an older airframe. Mostly being that the 350/350i is a larger aircraft, and more capable in many regards vs. the M2 (350 can carry much more and go farther than M2), the 350/350i will be more expensive.
Hello! The Basic Difference between a 350i & a 350ER is the ER has 1500 lbs more fuel and 1500lbs higher gross weight. It gives the airplane about 2600 miles of range. Same cabin options, normal configuration is 11 seats total (including crew). High Density options are up to 15 seats total. The ER is about $1m more than a 350i - New. Most ER's are "special mission" airplanes and they build very few of them. There is a way to get the additional fuel using an STC, effectively making a normal 350 into an ER at a fraction of the cost of a factory built airplane. Contact us if you'd like to discuss.
@@omidn2876 A King Air 350 / 350ER will burn roughly 115 Gallons / 435 Liters Per Hour and will cruise at 300 Knots. The strength of a King Air 350 is it's ability to carry heavy loads from short fields, travel long distances at 300 knots. Whether it's a waste, or not depends on what your mission is.
Waaaiiiitt a second....what happens once you’ve landed on that 3000 ft grass strip and can’t take off again? Can you turn this thing into a house that you can live in for the rest of your life? That would actually be really sweet
This thing can take off out of a 3000 ft grass strip. Either take off with flaps approach and low fuel and payload to meet balanced field or get a ferry permit so you’re exempt.
It’s going to depend on your experience and insurance company. For myself, I went from a Cessna 337 to a King Air 350i. Our operation is commercial and two crew and subject to contract requirements, so it was a week of ground school and four days of training plus two days in simulator to be a first officer... then 50 hours of line indoctrination and 9 months of flying the line and another week of ground school and four days flight training plus another 50 hours line indoc to be captain. But this is probably overkill for most private operators who would operate this single pilot. But you’d still want a safety pilot along for a while to ensure you don’t get behind the aircraft. The automation and information the Proline King Airs give you make it very easy to fly and maintain situational awareness.... but it requires extreme vigilance that you know what the automation will do as well as practice to ensure your hand flying doesn’t get rusty. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve asked “what’s it doing now?” as it captures an altitude before it captures the glideslope or goes into flight level change on an over speed and is now going to dive to target that speed as you reduce power rather than staying in vertical speed or vertical path.
This is mainly a corporate aircraft. Not a good personal aircraft for a wealthy individual unless they had a big family and lots of friends. A better choice would be a Pilatus PC-12, Piper Meridian or TBM series aircraft.
Sorry for my brutal honesty but, I was actually going to buy a 350i but didn't due to interior design choices and color schemes, you guys need help from a professional interior designer.
Yeah... sure pal. I can’t believe that any salesman let you walk out the door without offering you a green aircraft that could go through any of dozens of completion centres to make it as gaudy as you wanted it to be. Or that the mission that required the only aircraft of this type in the world in production was put off just because of decor.
sorry to offend but for a 9 million dollar aircraft it looks like a 9 year old designed the interior. Just giving you some advice, rework the interior and upgrade your quality
@@jetAVIVA you guys are awesome, keep up with the good work! ps. i woukld like to see more reviews on new aircraft such as the da62 and perhaps the vision jet g2
Beautiful plane, but ugliest colored interiors of a plane I have ever seen, you may want to work on that... every color scheme you offer is just cheap and ugly looking.
