Regulatory and airworthiness items
FAA AC 135.169-1 lists Beech 99, A99 and A99A as built to special conditions equivalent to SFAR 23, so they comply with 135.169(b)(2) for 10 or more passenger seats under FAR 135. SB 27-3459 (Rev. 1, November 2016; issued September 2002) is mandatory for U-1 through U-239. MTB-24-01 (December 2018) is an optional pedestal wire harness clearance update for the same serials.
Wheels, brakes and parts
Cleveland kit 199-110 converts standard-gear 18 x 5.5 main wheels and brakes under STC SA646GL (99, 99A, A99A, B99, C99). Its 30-146 brake uses MIL-H-5606 fluid. Kit 199-126 covers the nose wheel and kit 199-125 the high-flotation gear. The original 99-8003 brake has a wear indicator pin, and some of its parts are sold only by Beech.
Training and ownership
The King Air BE90/99/100/200 type rating course lists the 99 in its 25-hour ground curriculum group. Entry needs a valid MEP IR, a medical, 200 flight hours and 70 hours PIC. After the course, at least 4 landings are required with over 500 hours on a similar type, otherwise 6.
Safety notes
- SB 27-3459 is a mandatory red-border bulletin. Verify gust lock inspection or replacement is recorded for serials U-1 through U-239.
- Beechcraft service bulletins and kits may not suit airplanes modified by non-Beechcraft STCs. Review the STC list before applying them.
- Conversion kit installation depends on model year and serial number. Some kits lack hardware that must be ordered separately.
