King Air interiors kit specialist Aviation Fabricators (AvFab) received a supplemental type certificate from the FAA for its Monarch sidewall kit for 300-series King Airs on May 12. The kit brings the turboprop twin’s interior up to factory-new standards, mimicking that of a King Air 360, and includes the Royal Side Ledge system, Regal window shades, and Crown headliner. The side-ledge drink rail table system—the heart of the upgrade—includes deeper cup holders and a sharper finish, while the sculpted sidewalls help give the entire cabin a more modern look, said G.R. Lowe III, founder and president of the Clinton, Missouri aftermarket provider.

AvFab’s Regal pleated window shades allow as little as 4 percent light transmission and up to 75 percent heat reflection, and their insulating properties reduce heat loss by 20 percent. The shades can be left closed at all times, unlike OEM polarized shades, and come with a five-year warranty.
