Blackhawk Modifications of Waco, Texas, now has a supplemental FAA type certificate for the Raytheon King Air B200 twin turboprop with PT6A-42 engines, replacing the standard -41 type. Aircraft equipped with this “bolt-on” upgrade–no airframe modification is required–will achieve the same performance as current-production King Air B200s and offer a TBO increase from 3,000 to 3,600 hours. When combined with the Raisbeck Epic 1 propeller kit, mid-weight cruise speeds increase to between 280 and 285 knots. European approval of the STC is expected by the end of the third quarter.
