THE AIRCRAFT

Meet Beechcraft King Air family

Beechcraft's King Air range grew from the 90-series aircraft into a broad family of pressurised utility and business transports. The later 200 and 300 series were originally marketed as Super King Airs. Their T-tails provide a quick visual distinction from the smaller 90-series lineage.

The C90 and 350 aircraft gathered here differ in airframe, engines and systems. They also span conventional instrumentation and modern avionics. The aircraft's appeal as a reference subject is that variety: the shared name opens the door, but the individual variant explains the details.

The smaller King Air's cockpit

The C90B guide identifies roll and yaw trim controls and the navigation and autopilot systems implemented in Laminar's aircraft. Its cockpit belongs to the 90-series King Air, with its own documentation rather than the equipment list of a larger King Air 350.

Avionics choices and custom automatic flight

Airfoillabs's King Air 350 v2 combines avionics options with custom autopilot logic, including VNAV and approach behaviour. The product description also covers engine simulation, pressurisation and ice-protection systems. The reviewed current branch is for X-Plane 12; older King Air releases need their own version context.
