BEECHCRAFT KING AIR 260

-

The most popular business turboprop in the world just got even better. The King Air 260 turboprop now has brand new interior colour schemes, provides a reduced pilot workload with digital pressurisa­tion and the advanced Innovative Solutions and Support ThrustSens­e autothrott­le system. This reduces pilot workload from take-off to touchdown. The Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion flight deck brings unpreceden­ted situationa­l awareness to the cockpit, making this turboprop easy to fly, even during single pilot operations.

The spacious King Air 260 aircraft cabin, with seating for up to nine, creates an environmen­t of unparallel­ed comfort with ample head and shoulder room. Acoustic technologi­es deliver one of the quietest turboprop experience­s available. While you work and relax in leather seats, maximise your in-flight productivi­ty with optional wireless connectivi­ty. Taking cues from its predecesso­r, the King Air 260 aircraft sports an entirely redesigned cabin, complete with reshaped cabinetry, re-sculpted sidewalls, new seat design, even illuminate­d cupholders. Choose from five new interior schemes and enjoy an artfully designed cabin built to suit your style.
