Weights and the Halo 250 option

The Halo 250 STC (SA11103SC) raises max takeoff weight from 12,500 to 13,420 lb, a 920 lb payload gain, by certifying the airplane in the commuter category. The kit was listed at $98,500 with about 200 hours of installation labor. A BE-200 type rating is required, and the cabin is limited to nine seats because of a single emergency exit.

What a used example looks like

A 2016 King Air 250 (N729MJ) was listed with 1078.4 hours and 917 landings as of 8 April 2025. It had Pro Line Fusion avionics, composite winglets, Hartzell composite 93-inch four-blade propellers, RVSM capability, a six-seat cabin and Wi-Fi. It also carried ESP Silver and ProParts programs. The listing says specifications are subject to verification by the purchaser.

Pre-buy checks

Verify the engine fire extinguisher squib wiring. Incorrect wiring can still test OK but fail to fire. Confirm the winglet placard is present. Check whether composite propellers (STC SA02130SE) are fitted. The related propeller de-ice boot protection circuit kit is noted as not currently available. Confirm which weight category the airplane is certified in.

Safety notes

  • Miswired engine fire extinguisher squibs can pass the cockpit test yet not fire; the circuit breaker opens instead. Have the wiring verified.
  • Commuter-category operation at 13,420 lb needs a BE-200 type rating, and the cabin is limited to nine seats.
  • If cabin differential pressure exceeds 6.6 psi: set bleed air valves to ENVIRONMENT OFF, use oxygen as required, and descend.
