I was a lineman for the Beech Aero Club (part of Beechcraft West) @VNY from 79-82. We had a beautiful B90 for charters. All steam gauges at that time. I would always spend as much time as I could "cleaning" out the interior so I could sit in the left seat and cater to my inner child. I was lucky enough to be able to ride along on post-maintenance flights. The only downside was that the pilot wouldn't run the AC because it ran up the Hobbs. The price of admission for me was that I had to wash the beast before every charter flight. It was worth every hour I spent doing "lineman" stuff to make her look pretty! Great Video. I'm glad I found your channel!!!

Sweet King Air.

I have friend that had a C90GTX he kept it for a little and just didn’t like the Collins fusion System so he sold it and found a low time C90GT with the proline II had it all pulled and had the Garmin G1000 installed paint, interior and the Blackhawk upgrade. Not something I would’ve done but I guess when you have more money than you know what to do with, I personally don’t have that problem. Great Video!

Livin large, some people dream of flying a GTX, others, well, they take the yoke and make it happen. A small learning curve from garmin to collins and we're good to go. Cheers

Royal Flying Doctors here in Australia have flown the King Air for over 40 years now, Sadly they will phase them out and replace with the Pilatus 24. They are a work horse and served the outback communities flawlessly. Thanks for the Ride Rich. Fantastic aircraft.

There are 2 versions of the 100. One has Pratt and Whitney‘s the other has Garrett’s, that’s why it sounds different.

The C90 has always been my target. It's not as fast as a jet but gets a lot closer to where I want to go so the door to door time is less. I want a twin for long distances over water. The north Atlantic is mighty cold. I want a cabin class to fly over the weather and at my age a lavatory is a must.

@FlyingwithRich

2 жыл бұрын

Sounds like you have done your research - great choice! Thanks for watching.

I think a thing to consider about the end of the C90 is that even the piston twin is a dying breed in GA. Due to the training for them bring so poor for so long and pilots not doing any recurrent training on the engine out emergency procedures for them, they got a bad and undeserved rap as being unsafe or even less safe than single. So now many pilots are afraid of them, and getting insurance for one, well good luck affording it without at least 1000 recent hours in a multiengine already. Which of course carries over to the King Airs in a big way. Flying the single turboprop like a PC-12, TBM, M350, ect is not only simpler due to the full FADEC engines and less scary, it is also way cheaper just on the insurance and due to not have to get a multiengine rating. Plus those single turboprops are fast and look sexy, almost like WWII fighter. Even the cockpit is sleek and sexy vs a King Air. The cockpit of a King Air looks super intimidating and frankly outdated to a GA pilot coming from a single even modren gamin equipped light twin. Especially when they then look at the Cockpit in a TBM or PC-12 in comparison. Just look at pics and you'll see what I mean. Combine that with the excellent safety record planes like the PC-12 have and the smaller, more geared toward owner pilot C90 series simply stopped having much appeal to most GA pilots who can afford to step up to a turbine aircraft. So it's mostly business users and charter operations who will be buying King Airs at this point. And they likely want the bigger 200 and 300 series planes more.

Best private GA aircraft ever built.

I think you missed the cabin demensions as a factor in the King Air 90 being phased out. The King Air cabins are small compared to PC-12 and the upcoming Denali. If you are just flying yourself around, the TBM is probably a better option, but if you are moving people. The PC-12 is going to be way more comfortable. My bet is that the King Air 260 gets discontinued as soon as the Denali is certified. I really can't see a good reason for the 260 to exist in a world with the 360 and PC-12.

The Pilatus PC-12 series pretty much rendered the KA-90 series obsolete. They are magnificent anachronisms. 🙁🙁

If I may comment, I was a professional pilot and IP for over 40 years, your videos are very nice, perhaps you might take 15 secs per video to show that you are using a checklist, especially your departure briefing and engine failure on departing. New pilots especially and the owners and insurance companies will applaud you.

Thanks for the message. I have shown checklist use and take-off briefs on videos. I did a video on checklist use. I think there is more to checklist use/take-off briefs than a 15 seconds just to show I use checklists or do a brief. These videos are more to highlight the airplanes than my flying. I realize they go together in some ways, but I think for now I prefer to stick to showcasing the airplanes. Thanks again for watching/commenting!

@ John Richards Which is more than twice as likely to happen in a twin. (particularly since single PT6s have an alternate FCU). It’s within the realm of possibility to have BOTH your engines fail on a twin (fuel exhaustion, fuel contamination/icing, volcanic ash, incorrect maintenance done on both engines, shutting down the wrong engine, bird strikes/FOD, etc). The King Air 90 unlike it’s larger brother the 350 has no guarantees of single engine performance. There’s no V1…. no segmented climb or net takeoff flight path. No requirement that it even has to climb after an engine failure (though it will in most cases unlike lots of piston singles). But lose an engine on takeoff or shortly after and even an experienced pilot is going to have his hands full. A private pilot with 500-1000 hours and 100 hours a year is going to be fighting for his life. Even the 350 we’ve seen too commonly roll into the ground after an engine failure. PC-12, TBM, Meridian. Etc. all you have to do is glide it to the ground, and you’ll probably survive in anything except the most extreme of terrain. They are by far the better choice for most single pilot owner flown pressurized turbine aircraft. I’m pretty sure that the PC-12 still doesn’t have a single fatality related to engine failure in its record, while the King Air………

I have a lot of Garmin experience - Fusion is different for me so that probably makes me biased toward Garmin. I know Collins guys that prefer Collins over Garmin. I think they are both great avionics packages, with lots of capability. I think Garmin does a better job of getting weather and airport information to pilots, building flight plans, etc. Collins has many ways to do almost every task which can be good and bad from my perspective. I think Collins biggest problem is that most new pilot for the past 15 years have Garmin experience so really gives them a heavy advantage as pilot move into higher performance aircraft.

It took more than a decade of incremental improvements to make the King Air a best seller. Hopefully, some of these long term mentality will rub off on to Cessna and they will dump some of the corporate short term mentality, which ended up with products like the Corvalis. The King Air lost a lot of sales because of the proven reliability of turbines, With planes (PC12) competing with them that are essentially identical in payload and performance, except with one less engine to maintain. I wonder if the military are using the King Airs for observation etc where they need loitering time, have they tried the same trick they did with the Orion or C130, shut half the engine down except for take off and landing.
