The Beechcraft 1900D is a pressurized, tall-cabin twin-engine turboprop built between 1991 and 2002 and now out of production. The catalog figures are 1,530 nm of range, 280 kt cruise speed, a 25,000 ft ceiling, a maximum takeoff weight of 7,765 kg and a cabin for up to 19 seats (17 in the typical configuration), with a price of US$1.5 million when new. In Brazil, the type serves regional aviation, crew transport and corporate flights with large groups, where the number of seats matters more than speed. The ICAO code B190 organizes the search for certified repair shops, parts and comparables in the used market.

Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.

Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History

  1. 1990First flight
  2. 1991FAA certification
  3. 1991 - Launched in 1991 as the stand-up evolution of the 1900C

    The Beechcraft 1900D was announced in 1990 and began deliveries in 1991 as an evolution of the 1900C with a widened, stand-up cabin. The big change was the redesigned fuselage with an internal height of 1.80m (vs 1.45m on the 1900C), allowing passengers to walk upright. Raytheon (owner of Beechcraft at the time) also added aft tailets that improved directional stability, solving a problem of the 1900C.

Curiosities and highlights

Benefits

Distinctive T-tail optimizes directional stability

The T-tail configuration and the aft tailets are visually distinctive features of the 1900D. The T-tail raises the horizontal stabilizer above the propeller downwash at high alpha, improving control in critical phases. The aft tailets (small vertical winglets on the tail) provide additional directional stability without needing to enlarge the conventional rudder, a clever engineering solution.

Stand-up cabin for 19 pax without the cost of a jet

With a 1.80m-high stand-up cabin and 19 seats, the 1900D delivers a regional commuter jet experience (similar to the Beechjet 400/Cessna 525) with turboprop operating cost (USD 1,400/hour). It is the only 19-pax aircraft with a stand-up cabin available at scale in the pre-owned market at prices of 1-2M.

Exceptional cargo capacity for line haul

With 175 cuft of baggage space and a cargo capacity of approximately 4,500 lb (all-cargo version), the 1900D is widely used in line-haul cargo in the US by Ameriflight, Wiggins Airways and IFL Group. The large aft cargo door (typical of the 1900) and reinforced floor allow standard ULDs (unit load devices).

Limitations

Low service ceiling (25,000ft) limits long routes

The operating ceiling of 25,000ft is low compared with modern regional turboprops (ATR-72: 25,000ft, Q400: 27,000ft). On routes with strong headwinds or extensive weather deviations, the inability to climb to 30,000ft penalizes fuel efficiency. For this reason the 1900D is typically operated on short to medium routes (up to 500nm).

Curiosities

Platform chosen for the US Air Force MMSA program

The US Air Force selected the Beechcraft 1900D as the basis for the MMSA (Multi-Mission Sensor Aircraft) and the MC-12W variant in 2008-2009 for ISR missions in Iraq and Afghanistan (alongside the MC-12 fleet based on the King Air 350). The simplicity, pax/cargo capacity and low operating cost made the aircraft attractive for long-duration tactical intelligence missions.
