1997 King Air 350
As the saying goes, "You can't beat a Beechcraft!"
Highest legal altitude at which this airplane can fly is Flight Level (FL) 350, or 35,000'.
The range of the airplane is close to 2,000 nautical miles under the right conditions.
The King Air 350 is exceptional in many areas, not the least of which is its load carrying capability. Between 7,000 and 8,000 King Airs have been built and that number climbs steadily every year.
The King Air series (first started in 1964) has the best safety record of any business airplane for two principle reasons. First, the design is simple and strong.
Besides having icing equipment, almost all King Airs have weather radar, which aids in thunderstorm avoidance.
Most King Airs are pressurized, meaning that compressed air enters the cabin, making the air dense enough to breathe even though the airplane may be operating in very thin air.
This airplane, N10UN, has the Garmin G1000nxi package, consisting of three large screens, which gives pilots a high level of situational awareness and additional detailed information of many types. The system has an integrated autopilot, the Garmin GFC700, which is the smoothest, most accurate and easy to use autopilot.
The flying characteristics of the King Air line are excellent as has been typical of Beechcraft airplanes since the early days. The Model 17 Staggerwing (1930s) and the Model 18 (Twin Beech - built from 1937 until 1969) have beautiful control characteristics and that tradition has been carried on through the decades all the way to the King Air 350. As we pilots say, it is a wonderful instrument platform and is very flexible operationally.
