Introducing the Beechcraft King Air 360
Textron Aviation ushered in the next generation of its legendary King Air turboprop family with the Beechcraft King Air 360/360ER. The updated f lagship turboprop offers the latest technological advancements in the cockpit, a redesigned cabin, and enhancements to passenger comfort. The aircraft is currently in production with customer deliveries expected to begin in the Fall of 2020.
A key feature of the King Air 360 cockpit is the addition of the Innovative Solutions & Support (IS&S) ThrustSense Autothrottle. The auto- throttle supports pilots in their criti- cal mission of delivering people or
cargo safely by automatically manag- ing engine power from the takeoff roll through the climb, cruise, de- scent, go-around and landing phases of f light. This enhancement reduces pilot workload and supports them in their continuous vigilance to prevent over-speed or under-speed, over-temp and over-torque conditions. Another important update in the cockpit is the new digital pressuriza- tion controller, which automatically schedules cabin pressurization during both climb and descent, reducing pilot workload and increasing overall pas- senger comfort. The pressurization
gauges have been integrated with the powerful Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion f light deck.
With seating for up to nine passen- gers, the latest King Air offers an even greater passenger experience than its predecessor. The aircraft features a cabin altitude of 5,960 feet at a typical cruising altitude of 27,000 feet – more than 10 percent lower when compared to the King Air 350i. The improved cabin altitude levels provide greater comfort for passengers, especially during longer f lights. For more in- formation, visit www.txtav.com.
