Beechcraft King Air 350CER

The Beechcraft King Air 350CER is a pressurized twin‑engine turboprop that builds on the long‑standing King Air line created by Beech Aircraft Corporation in 1964. Introduced in 2009, the 350CER combines the 350’s spacious, 11‑seat cabin with the advanced avionics of the Certified Electronic Regional (CER) upgrade, featuring a fully integrated Collins ProLine 21 system, dual large displays, and enhanced flight‑management capabilities. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney PT6A‑67B engines delivering 1,700 shaft horsepower each, the aircraft offers a cruising speed of 312 knots, a range of over 1,800 nautical miles, and a service ceiling of 35,000 feet, making it suitable for corporate, medevac, and special‑mission operations. The 350CER’s robust airframe, long‑haul performance, and modern glass cockpit have cemented its role as a versatile workhorse in regional aviation, competing with the likes of the Cessna 560 and Pilatus PC‑12. Its reliability, ease of maintenance, and ability to operate from short, unimproved runways have made it a favorite among operators seeking efficiency and comfort in demanding environments. Since its certification, the 350CER has been adopted by governments, oil‑and‑gas firms, and air ambulance services worldwide, illustrating its adaptability to both civilian and military roles while maintaining a reliability rate exceeding 99 percent.
