"KING AIR 300, Information"

The King Air 300 and 350 have longer takeoff distances than 90-, 100- and 200-series King Airs because of the apples-and-oranges OEI versus all-engine takeoff performance comparisons.


Cabin volume, passenger comfort and interior cabin quiet also ranked high on 300-series King Air operators' lists of favorite qualities, especially when compared to the King Air 200.


The average passenger load is four people, but several operators-especially some corporate operators with high annual utilization-say they routinely fill all the passenger seats.


The King Air 300 aircraft are configured in double club. Several said their aircraft are fitted with belted potty seats.


Some companies occasionally use one or both optional jump seats in the aft cargo compartment.


The average trip is 150 mi., and for others, the mean is 870 mi. Many of these aircraft work as corporate shuttles.


Dollar for dollar, it's a great airplane. The 300 has good short-field performance, great speed for a turboprop, and companies can fill all the seats [without reducing range]."


The emerging light-to- medium jets are going to offer the 300 and 350 stiff competition.


Many operators said they are carefully watching the Learjet 45, Citation Excel and Raytheon Premier I programs.


As the new generation of turbofan aircraft becomes available, the blend of cabin size, short-field performance and operating economics is going to be tempting, especially for Model 350 operators.


In the interim, the new Citation Bravo and Ultra, along with older light jets such as the Citation II and V, seem to be having an effect on the resale value of the King Air 350. The light jets are holding their value quite well.


King Air 300 aircraft, have held a much higher percentage of their original price.


The performance numbers of the 300-series indicate there will continue to be a need for such aircraft in the business aircraft community.


Few, if any, competitively priced, current production turbofan aircraft can fly so many people so far, for so little operating expense, as the King Air 300 and 350.


Stepping up to a new light-to-medium jet with comparable range/payload performance just won't be possible.


For many, the 300-series King Airs offer an unbeatable blend of range, speed, payload and operating economics.


To use the words of operators, these flying pickup trucks just run and run and run. Nothing else can do the job for the money.


Beechcraft’s top-of-the-line answer to the business prop-jet market is the King Air 350, an evolution from the Super King Air 300 and the Super King Air 350.


The King Air 300 has retractable tricycle landing gear with dual wheels on each main unit. A large air-stair door is located on the aft port side of the fuselage.


The biggest of the King Airs continues to evolve with modern avionics, and in 2004—the King Air’s 40th anniversary— Raytheon added two 16-cubic-foot wing lockers in the aft portion of the engine nacelles to increase loading flexibilities.


The King Air 300 is a pressurized, twin-engine turboprop business aircraft configured as a cantilever low-wing monoplane with a T-tail and aft ventral fin.
