Beechcraft King Air 360: The Modern Evolution of a Turboprop Legend

The Beechcraft King Air 360 represents the latest evolution in the long-standing and highly successful King Air series of twin-turboprop aircraft. Building upon the legacy of its predecessors, the 360 introduces modern enhancements focused on pilot workload reduction, passenger comfort, and updated technology, making it a compelling option for both charter and acquisition through JETVIP. While still a turboprop and not a traditional "jet," its performance and capabilities often bridge the gap, particularly for regional travel and access to a wider range of airfields.  

Key Enhancements over Previous Models:

• IS&S ThrustSense Autothrottle: A standard feature, this system automatically manages engine power from takeoff to landing, optimizing performance, reducing pilot workload, and providing over-torque and over-temperature protection.  
   
• Digital Pressurization System: This system automatically schedules cabin pressurization during both climb and descent, leading to a more comfortable cabin altitude and further reducing pilot workload.  
   
• Lower Cabin Altitude: Structural updates have resulted in a cabin altitude that is more than 10% lower than the King Air 350i at typical cruising altitudes. For example, at 27,000 feet, the cabin altitude is just 5,960 feet, significantly improving passenger comfort, especially on longer flights.  
   

   
• Redesigned Cabin: The King Air 360 features a modern and stylish cabin with reshaped cabinetry, resculpted sidewalls with pinhole lighting, upgraded seat design utilizing digital pressure mapping for enhanced comfort, illuminated cupholders, and low-profile air/light adjusters. New interior schemes offer a range of appealing color palettes.  
   
• Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion Avionics Suite: This advanced, integrated glass cockpit features three 14-inch touchscreen displays, providing pilots with intuitive access to navigation, communication, flight planning (including graphical flight planning), integrated charts and maps, and standard synthetic vision.  
   

Key Features (Beyond the Enhancements):

• Versatile Cabin: Typically accommodates up to 9 passengers in standard configuration, with a maximum certified capacity that can reach 11. The spacious cabin offers comfortable seating arrangements, often including club seating and fold-out work tables, making it suitable for both business and leisure travel.

    • Length: 19.5 feet (5.9 meters)
    • Width: 4.5 feet (1.37 meters)  
       
    • Height: 4.8 feet (1.4 meters)  
       
   
   

   
• Robust Performance: Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-60A turboprop engines, each producing 1,050 shaft horsepower, the King Air 360 delivers reliable performance and excellent short-field capabilities.  
   
• Efficient Operation: As a turboprop, the King Air 360 offers greater fuel efficiency compared to many jets, especially on shorter to medium-range flights.  
   
• Short Runway Access: Its ability to operate from shorter runways provides access to a wider range of airports.
