About this document
How many people can the C90GTx carry?

The manufacturer sheet for the Beechcraft King Air C90GTx lists a maximum of 8 occupants. The cabin has club-four seating, a belted side-facing seat and a belted lavatory seat aft.

How far and how fast does it go?

The Beechcraft King Air C90GTx is listed at 272 ktas maximum cruise and 1,260 nm maximum range. That range is a ferry mission at long-range cruise with NBAA IFR reserves, so real trips with a payload will be shorter.

How does it compare with the wider King Air 90 family?

Registry figures cover the whole family, which includes the C90 and C90GT variants. They give up to 278 kt, 1,390 nm and a 35,000 ft ceiling. Treat these as family-level maxima. The Beechcraft King Air C90GTx figures are lower.

What upgrades should I look for?

On a Beechcraft King Air C90GTx, check for the Raisbeck EPIC package. It adds 96-inch swept-blade props and dual aft body strakes, and raises max takeoff weight to 10,500 lb. The swept props carry a 6-year/4,000-hour TBO.

Weights, payload and cabin

Basic operating weight with one pilot is 7,265 lb and useful load is 3,280 lb. Max takeoff weight is 10,485 lb. The cabin is 57 in high, 54 in wide and 12 ft 7 in long. The heated, pressurized baggage area holds 350 lb and is reachable in flight.

Raisbeck EPIC package: what changes

Raisbeck data compares a factory C90GTx with an EPIC-equipped one (ISA, sea level). Takeoff, flaps up: 3,000 ft vs 2,150 ft. Landing with reverse: 2,370 ft vs 1,580 ft. Single-engine climb: 420 fpm vs 525 fpm. Cruise RPM: 1,900 vs 1,750. EPIC raises max takeoff weight to 10,500 lb. These are vendor figures.

Takeoff figure to question

The manufacturer sheet gives a 1,984 ft takeoff distance at max takeoff weight. Raisbeck lists 1,980 ft for an EPIC-equipped C90GTx and 3,240 ft for a factory one at max weight. Ask which configuration the sheet figure describes, and check the aircraft's actual prop and strake fit.

Safety notes

  • AAIB reported a 2010 C90GTx whose cabin door opened in climb at 1,700 ft, though the handle looked locked. Do every door-lock check on the checklist.
  • The manufacturer told the AAIB of only two other in-flight door openings on the King Air 90 series.
  • CASA wing-spar fatigue ADs name earlier 90-series models, not the C90GTx. Confirm applicability by serial number and review the spar inspection records.
