King Air 200 Overview
The King Air 200 is a turboprop manufactured by Beechcraft (Textron Aviation), produced from 1974-present. Classified as a mid-cabin aircraft, the King Air 200 carries up to 9 passengers at a maximum cruise speed of 289 knots with a range of 1,580 nautical miles — placing it squarely in the charter and corporate flight segment for cross-country domestic missions.
The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 61 active King Air 200 registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-42, each producing 850 SHP each of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 289 knots (N/A), with a long-range cruise of 260 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 31,000 feet puts the King Air 200 well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 2,579 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 1,580 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the King Air 200 handles regional cross-country routing — New York to Miami, Chicago to Dallas, or Los Angeles to Seattle. Typical hourly operating costs range from $1,400-$2,200 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The King Air 200 cabin measures 16.7 ft long, 4.5 ft wide, and 4.8 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 9 passengers, with 55 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Collins Pro Line/Garmin avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
