Recently at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convention PWI announced new King Air lighting options:
- The soon-to-be PMA-approved LED Logo Light which illuminates the pilot side of the vertical surface of the tail, often bearing the company logo of business, charter, special missions, AirMed and cargo operators.
- The Door Entry LED for King Airs which leverages LED benefits for entry and exit of the aircraft. Mounted below the wing on the exterior cabin door side, it illuminates the ground below the opened door. Unlike the step lights built into the door steps, this light allows passengers to see the ground before entry and again when disembarking the aircraft. Safety and long life make this upgrade ideal for any mission.
- The Ice Light Window and the Seat Belt/Smoking sign which were publicized earlier this year.
- PWI also announced earlier in October that it obtained approval from the Agencia Federal de Aviación Civil (formerly DGAC) in Mexico for its LED cabin lighting for the Beechcraft King Air 300 and B300/350 models. These LED light kits previously earned STC, EASA and ANAC certifications.
PWI designed and manufactured King Air fluorescent cabin lighting supplied to the factory as an OEM vendor. Since then, it has developed LED cabin lighting that is a direct replacement for these original fluorescent lights. These rectangular headliner lights are a plug-and-play installation without soldering. The original wiring and cockpit dimming controls work with the new LEDs as well.
The King Air 300 series features a cabin aisle headliner with 36 rectangular lights (model 300) or 42 lights (model B300/350) and the option for 4100K Warm White or 5100K Cool White LEDs.
The company says King Air LEDs continue to be a popular upgrade for King Air 300 series owner and operators. The low power draw and extremely long life appeal to business flying as well as charter and special missions operations. Also, pairing those LEDs with its PMA-approved LED Reading Lights creates an entirely refreshed cabin experience.
