Verdict per regime (private, charter dry and wet) across 465 Brazilian public runways, with the margin in meters.

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. 2011 - Launched in 2011 as an evolution of the B200GT

    Hawker Beechcraft announced the King Air 250 at NBAA 2010 and began deliveries in 2011 as the successor to the B200GT (Super King Air). The jump to the 250 was marked by the adoption of factory winglets and 4-blade Hartzell composite propellers, which delivered an extra 5kt of cruise speed and a 14% better rate of climb. In December 2020 Textron announced the end of 250 production with the transition to the King Air 260.

Curiosities and highlights

Benefits

Pro Line Fusion touchscreen modernized the B200 cockpit

In later series (from 2015), the King Air 250 EP received the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion with 3 14-inch touch screen displays, synthetic vision and graphical flight planning. It was a generational leap over the Pro Line 21 and brought the cockpit closer to that of modern midsize jets.

Short runway and gravel runway capability

With a balanced field length of 2,111ft and an optional gravel runway kit, the King Air 250 operates from rough runways where no jet lands: ranches, mining camps, Amazon gravel strips. In Brazil this capability is decisive for agribusiness/oil-and-gas missions on short, unpaved private runways.

Limitations

No factory autothrottle

The King Air 250 never had autothrottle as a factory option, unlike its successor, the 260, which adopted the IS&S ThrustSense. Pilots must adjust power manually in every phase of flight, which increases workload in descent with torque limit and in hot-and-high conditions. It is one of the main reasons for the migration to the 260 in premium fleets.

Curiosities

King Air 250 was the best-selling medium executive turboprop of the decade

Between late 2010 and early 2017, Beechcraft delivered 162 King Air 250 units worldwide, surpassing direct competitors such as the Piaggio P.180 Avanti and keeping the King Air family as the absolute benchmark in the medium executive turboprop segment. In the Brazilian used market, it is one of the most sought-after twin turboprops for RBAC 135 (Brazil's Part 135) charter.
