King Air B200T

The Beechcraft King Air B200T is a twin‑engine turboprop that has become a benchmark for versatile utility aircraft since its introduction in the early 1990s. Developed from the successful Model 90 series, the B200T incorporates the more powerful Pratt & Whitney PT6A‑42A engines, delivering 850 shaft horsepower each and enabling a maximum cruise speed of roughly 300 knots. Its pressurized cabin, capable of seating up to nine passengers or accommodating diverse cargo configurations, offers a spacious, climate‑controlled environment that set new standards for comfort in the turboprop market. Advanced avionics suites, such as the Collins Pro Line 21 or Garmin G1000, provide modern navigation, communication, and flight‑management capabilities, while optional de‑icing and hot‑air environmental control systems enhance all‑weather operability. Over three decades, the B200T has served civilian operators, air‑ambulance services, and governmental agencies worldwide, proving its reliability and low operating costs. Its blend of performance, durability, and adaptability cemented the King Air line’s reputation as a workhorse of regional aviation, influencing subsequent aircraft designs and maintaining a strong presence in both commercial and special‑mission fleets. Today, numerous B200Ts remain in active service, demonstrating the model’s enduring value and continuing impact on modern aviation operations.
