Certification for Fusion-equipped King Air 350i/ER

Beechcraft Corporation, a subsidiary of Textron Aviation, announced that it had received type certification from the FAA for the new Pro Line Fusion-equipped Beechcraft King Air 350i/ER turboprop. Deliveries are scheduled to begin before the end of the year. Pro Line Fusion-equipped King Air 350i and King Air 250 turboprops made their NBAA debuts at Textron Aviation’s static display.

“Our product roadmap is focused on satisfying our operators’ requirements, and making Pro Line Fusion standard on our production King Airs is in direct response to customer feedback,” said Christi Tannahill, Senior Vice President, Turboprop Aircraft and Interior Design. “Offering the latest technology in the cockpit and cabin has resulted in great market reaction; our owners and operators clearly appreciate that these new features improve the overall flight experience and value of the King Air.”

Deliveries of the Fusion-equipped King Air 250 are expected to begin before the end of the year. Certification for the Pro Line Fusion-equipped King Air C90GTx is expected in the first half of 2016.
