Textron Aviation announced FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approval for the new Beechcraft King Air Ground Cooling aftermarket upgrade for the Beechcraft King Air 200 and 300 series turboprops. The Ground Cooling system enables King Air operators to cool the cabin before crew and passengers board, by plugging in a Ground Power Unit (GPU) eliminating the need to power air conditioning systems via the aircraft’s engine.
The Ground Cooling system, offered exclusively for install at Textron Aviation, is available now. Textron Aviation offers factory-direct service and support through a global network staffed with nearly 3,000 employees. Customers have direct access to a team of expert service representatives offering maintenance, inspections, parts, repairs, avionic upgrades, equipment installations, refurbishments and other specialized services.
