FROM THE TRUSTED SUPPLIER OF PERFORMANCE UPGRADES Upgrades available for King Air 90 Series KING AIR 90 XP135A ENGINE+ UPGRADE EXCLUSIVELY FROM BLACKHAWK 2 Weeks Typical Engine Installation 59% Increased Climb Rate 30 hrs Time Saved Each Year 270+ ktas Maximum Cruise Speed 10% Savings on Operating Costs 19,000 ft Single Engine Service Ceiling YOUR KING AIR 90 REDEFINED Is an Upgrade right for you? The XP135A Engine+ Upgrade is the most cost-effective solution for King Air 90 operators who seek improved performance, return on investment and a better flying experience. Walsh Aviation’s Tom Kraus called it “obviously the best decision in terms of safety and performance.” Ready for more Power? You’ll get a lot more horsepower with brand-new PT6A-135A engines. But it’s what you do with that power that makes all the difference. - Better Safety Margins - Fly Faster - Improved Climb - Better High/Hot Performance INVESTMENT & VALUE All this performance and value starts with an initial investment, minus the cost of your next overhaul. Other financial factors to consider include: - Lower operating costs - Pratt & Whitney core engine credits up to $35 per hour per engine for every hour remaining to the factory TBO - Extend the time it takes to reach the 3,600-hour overhaul by over a year and a half - Strongest resale value of any engine upgrade on the market - Nearly every Blackhawk-powered aircraft that has been resold within 500 hours of the upgrade has sold close to or higher than the combined investment of the airframe and engines INCREASE IN AVAILABLE HORSEPOWER 36% UPGRADE BENEFITS FAQS Q. Won’t an upgrade cost more than an overhaul? A. Yes, you’ll spend more on an upgrade than a typical overhaul, but you’ll have so much more to show for it, too: increased earning ability, better resale value, enhanced safety, reduced operating costs and a better flying experience. Q. But won’t I burn more fuel? A. Yes, the fuel burn is greater at equal altitude. However, taking advantage of the increased climb performance and higher cruise speeds significantly narrows or eliminates the increase in fuel consumption. Also, utilizing the increased climb and cruise performance will reduce block times and deliver a significant reduction in overall operating costs. Typically, any increase in fuel cost will be offset by a larger reduction in direct operating costs. We’ve done the math, it pays to fly faster! Q. If I upgrade, does it make sense to wait until my next overhaul? A. Why wait to start enjoying the many benefits of an upgrade? Save money on every mission you fly, increase the capability of your aircraft, and take advantage of generous core credits for time remaining. Over half of Blackhawk’s customers upgrade with more than 500 hours remaining. Q. How does an upgrade compare to buying a newer aircraft? A. Blackhawk offers transformative performance without the risks of buying new: Will you be able to sell your aircraft for the value you expect? Will there be unexpected costs to acquire your new aircraft? Will there be unexpected issues not discovered during the pre-buy? Upgrading with Blackhawk eliminates the uncertainty and transactional costs of buying another aircraft while transforming the performance and utility of the aircraft you know best. The journey to a safer, higher-performing, more reliable King Air 90 starts with a Blackhawk XP135A Engine+ Upgrade. The real power of an XP135A Engine+ Upgrade is in its ability to increase speed while reducing fuel consumption. “The best performance after adding the new Blackhawk [upgrade] was at FL230 where I saw 278 knots with a fuel burn of 590 pounds per hour. Do the math! More speed and less fuel per mile flown. That’s a hard combination to beat. Oh! It only took 12 minutes to climb to FL230 with the main tanks full and four people on board. I’ve seen the promotional literature Blackhawk puts out, but my E90 beats any numbers I’ve seen.” – Mike Summey, Owner/Chief Pilot, King Air E90.

The real power of an XP67A Engine+ Upgrade is in its ability to generate jet like speeds at King Air costs and utility. King Air 350 Chief Pilot Cody Pierce says; “I’ve done a bit of contract work in an older CE-550. Having now seen both those, and our 350 in action it puts things into perspective. Leg times are nearly identical, the jet burns 33% more fuel and is significantly more uncomfortable in every way. I’m sure you know all this, but it was really interesting for me to see both aircraft side by side. Makes me really appreciate what we have. The other big thing was time to climb. We can get to 34k in about 15-17 minutes. 28 minutes in the Citation.” The other big thing was time to climb.
