“We are always listening to our King Air customers and longtime operators to push the envelope and
help their missions.”
Rob Scholl Senior Vice President Sales and Flight Operations
The pressurization gauges have been integrated with the Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion flight deck.
“Structural changes have allowed us to increase the maximum cabin pressure, which results in a 10% lower cabin altitude compared to the King Air 350i,” Scholl said. “For example, while flying at 27,000 feet, cabin altitude is just 5,960 feet. Another added benefit of the digital pressurization system is that it allowed us to eliminate some of the various indicators above the throttle. For example, the cabin pressurization gauges, along with the flap indicator, have been integrated into an electronic readout at the bottom of the Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion MFD.”
New seats and a complete cabin redesign
During the video announcement, Christi Tannahill, senior vice president of customer experience, which includes interior design and engineering, marketing, customer accounts and deliveries, called out other comfort improvements beyond improved cabin altitude levels. She described the changes as a collection of small refinements that make a big difference: additional
5 legroom, increased table heights and higher sidewall armrests.
You’ll feel a greater sense of openness in the cabin and will notice the all new interior schemes. The complete cabin redesign also features custom-built cabinetry, partitions and side ledges, and upgraded materials and finishes. Other amenities that come standard on the entire King Air lineup include pull-out work tables, standard power outlets, USB charging stations and a private aft lavatory.
