Hawker Beechcraft King Air 200C

The Beechcraft King Air 200C is a variant of the popular King Air 200 series, distinguished primarily by the addition of a large cargo door on the left side of the rear fuselage.¹ This feature significantly enhances the aircraft's versatility, making it suitable for a wider range of missions beyond typical passenger transport.²

Here's a breakdown of the King Air 200C:

Key Features Specific to the 200C:

• Large Cargo Door: The most defining feature, this door typically measures around 4 ft 4 in by 4 ft 4 in (1.32 m by 1.32 m).³ It allows for the easy loading and unloading of bulky cargo, oversized baggage, stretchers for medical evacuations (Medevac/Air Ambulance), and other specialized equipment.⁴
• Enhanced Versatility: The cargo door significantly expands the operational capabilities of the King Air 200C compared to standard passenger-only configurations.⁵ It can be readily adapted for cargo transport, medical missions, surveillance, and other specialized roles.⁶
• Airstair Door: Like the standard King Air 200, the 200C also features a ventral airstair door for passenger entry and exit.⁷

Other Shared Features with the King Air 200 Series:

• Comfortable Cabin: Typically accommodates 6 to 9 passengers in a pressurized cabin, with potential for more in high-density configurations.⁸ Cabin layouts often include club seating.
  • Typical Cabin Dimensions:
    • Length: Approximately 16.7 - 16.8 feet (5.08 - 5.12 meters)⁹
    • Width: Approximately 4.5 - 4.8 feet (1.37 - 1.46 meters)
    • Height: Approximately 4.8 - 4.10 feet (1.45 - 1.49 meters)
• Robust Performance: Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-41 or PT6A-42 turboprop engines (typically around 850 shaft horsepower each), offering reliable performance and good short-field capabilities.¹⁰
• Efficient Operation: Turboprops are generally more fuel-efficient than jets on shorter flights.¹¹
• Short Runway Access: Capable of operating from shorter runways compared to many jets.¹²
