which delivers up to 25% more endurance than a PT6A- 60A-equipped King Air 350. Furthermore, Blackhawk’s XR Kit significantly expands the ability to meet or exceed second segment climb gradient requirements with full fuel and provides a head-turning 60% increased climb rate to altitude. The XR Kit also increases cruise speeds 30-40 KTAS to ensure on-time mission execution with minimal notification.
In addition to performance enhancements, the XR Upgrade Kit also impacts the bottom line. The kit provides improved performance and operational flexibility at a significantly lower acquisition cost as compared to other special mission aircraft with extended range. Factory- new propellers, engines, heavy weight landing gear, True Blue Lithium-ion battery, Raisbeck fully enclosed High Floatation Gear Doors, and CenTex Saddle Tank fuel lockers are all included in the price of the upgrade.
The Blackhawk XR Kit transforms readily available King Air 350s into a low cost, high performance, special mission workhorse. For more information on the XR Upgrade Kit for the King Air 350, visit www.blackhawk. aero/ka350-xr or call +1 (254) 755-6711.
FAA Approves Additional PWI LED Lights for King Airs
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced the PMAs (Parts Manufacturing Approval) of PWI’s LED lighting for use in additional aircraft, including King Airs.
The 1495 bulb replacement LED reading light was approved for the Beechcraft King Air B200T and B200CT and the 1308 LED replacement reading light in the King Air C90, C90A, C90GT, E90, B200, B200C, B200T, B200CT, B200GT, B200CGT and the 250 models.
The LED lighting uses 1% of the power that incandescent bulbs require, drawing less than 0.05 amps and running at less than 10 volts, which allows for cooler operating temperatures. PWI says the LED lights also provide 100,000 hours of operating life.
Lighting can be purchased through PWI’s authorized dealer network (list at pwi-e.com/business-partners/) or directly by emailing their sales department at sales@ pwi-e.com. KA
