02 Introduction of aircraft

-

       The King Air 90 Series aircraft are high-performance pressurized twin-engine turboprop aircraft. They are designed and equipped for flight in instrument flight rule (IFR) conditions, day or night, and into known icing conditions. They are also capable of operating in and out of small airports within the Pilot Operating Handbook (POH) operating limits. The Super King Air design is a blend of a highly efficient airframe with proven current technology components providing a reliable, economical, versatile, and cost-productive aircraft.

       The structure is an all-metal low-wing monoplane. It has fully cantilevered wings and a conventional tail empennage. The wings are an efficient, high-aspect  ratio  design.  The  airfoil section provides an excellent combination of low drag for cruise conditions and easy handling for low speed terminal conditions or small airport operations

The King Air 90 Series are identified as:

Text Box: INTRODUCTIONThe fuselage is a conventional semimonocoque structure using high strength aluminum alloys. The basic cross-sectional shape of the cabin is a favorable compromise between passenger com- fort and efficient cruise performance. The cabin profile  is  squared-oval,  not  round.  Passengers can sit comfortably without leaning their heads to  accommodate  sloping  walls. The  floors are flat from side to side for passenger ease in enter- ing and leaving the cabin. Refer to the MSM for the  King Air C90 Series Typical Arrangement illustration.

King Air 90 Series Configuration

 

The floors are flat from side to side for passenger ease in entering and leaving the cabin. They are certificated for up to 10 people. The most popular configuration provides comfortable seating  for six passengers and a crew of two. Almost any arrangement is possible.

FLIGHT DECK

        The pilot and copilot sit side-by-side in individual chairs, separated by  the  control  pedestal.  The seats are adjustable fore and aft, vertically, and they also tilt to provide maximum pilot access to the controls. These seats have adjustable airbag- type lumbar supports for crew comfort. Seat belts and inertia-type shoulder harnesses are provided for each seat. The C90GTi general layout of the flight deck shows the location of the instruments and controls

        Extending back from the center subpanel is the engine  control  quadrant  and  pedestal. Engine controls, flap control handle, rudder and aileron trim knobs, and press pressurization controls are on this pedestal. On the C90A/B/GT the flight director and autopilot systems are typi- cally here also.

  The center pedestal has changed on the C90GTi to incorporate the control display unit which pro- vides centralized control and display functions for the flight management system and radio sen- sor system. The data base unit (DBU) is installed in the pedestal as well and is used to upload file server unit databases and navigation information. The cursor control panel (CCP) provides MFD control and is used to control MFD menus and display formats

TTP B1-L3 ATA 56 Beech 90 Series B2-L1 Windows The King Air for w ard windshields are fo r med from t w o-p l y glass in an int e g ral aluminum frame. The t w o glass plies are bonded t o gether with a center po l yvi n yl sheet that co n tains the fine wire heating g rids. The windshields are electrostatical l y  coated and cu r rent-production windshields are sur f ace sealed. All the side wind o ws are const r ucted from ac r ylic plastic. WINDSHIELDS   The electrical l y heated laminated glass windshield is subject to the g radual process of delamination due to the effect of chemical action and differentials of temperature and pressure incu r red during pressurized flights at v a r ying altitudes and under v a r ying w eather conditions. This delamination is not detrimental to the st r uctural int e g rity of the windshiel d , b ut ...
