To Upgrade Or Not To Upgrade?
The decision ultimately comes down to performance and economics. New King Air 250s come with -52 engines and C90s come with -135As. Beechcraft chose these newer engines because they are better than what was available previously. The neat thing is that you can make your King Air perform like a new one simply by changing the engines! Now the 350 can have the -67A, same engine that is on a Beech 1900D Commuter, WOW, now that’s some serious horse power!
On the economics side, there are some key questions which help decide when it is time to upgrade:
What is the total time on the engines?
What will an overhaul cost?
What are your plans for the aircraft?
What other considerations are important?
What are the performance benefits?
- Better climb rate.
- Better single-engine performance during an emergency.
- Better fuel efficiency because you reach cruise altitude much quicker.
- Safer during take-off and climb-out in icing conditions.
- Increased Airspeed. You reach your destination more quickly while burning less fuel.
- Lower Maintenance and Operating Costs are guaranteed because the next big shop visit is not until 3600 hours. The new engines are under warranty by Pratt & Whitney Canada.
