N716AV Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
N716AV operates in the turboprop segment where efficiency and airport access matter more than speed. The King Air 200 covers 1,580 NM at 289 knots behind 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-42 producing 850 SHP each.
Mission Profile
The King Air 200 seats up to 9 passengers in a cabin measuring 16.7 ft long, 4.5 ft wide, and 4.8 ft tall. N716AV operates where efficiency and short-field capability take priority over speed.
Charter Authorization
Charter authorization is active for N716AV. This King Air 200 operates under Part 135 for regional missions. Contact The Jet Finder for scheduling and pricing.
Insider Note
Turboprops like the King Air 200 access airstrips that no jet can reach. N716AV can operate from runways under 2,500 feet, paved or unpaved, opening up thousands of airports across rural and mountainous regions.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
N716AV is a 2004 helicopter under . Rotorcraft serve the most time-sensitive transportation missions in aviation: EMS, offshore, VIP urban transport, and aerial work.
Fleet Position
Over 10,000 helicopters are on active U.S. registrations. FAA data shows N716AV based in 9 passengers, . The U.S. helicopter fleet serves EMS, offshore oil and gas, law enforcement, utility, VIP transport, and flight training. Maintenance infrastructure is extensive, with turbine helicopter service available at most major airports.
Charter Availability
N716AV is Part 135 charter authorized. Helicopter charter rates range from $1,500 to $8,000 per flight hour depending on type and configuration. VIP helicopter charter serves urban transfers (Manhattan to JFK in 8 minutes), resort access, and event transportation where ground travel times exceed 2 hours.
Market Position
N716AV is a 2004 helicopter from the modern production era. Pre-owned values range from $1M to $5M. Modern helicopters benefit from improved safety systems, glass cockpit avionics, and engines designed for longer times between overhaul.
Modern helicopter acquisitions offer a balance of current technology and significant depreciation from original delivery price. For operators entering helicopter operations, modern pre-owned aircraft provide capable platforms at accessible price points.
Mission Profile
Optimized for missions where vertical takeoff and landing capability is essential. EMS programs save lives by reaching accident scenes and hospitals directly. Offshore operators service platforms hundreds of miles from shore. Law enforcement provides aerial surveillance that ground units cannot replicate.
When to Choose Something Else
Skip helicopters for routes over 200 nm. At 130 to 170 knots, helicopters take twice as long as light jets over 200+ mile routes. For distances exceeding 150 miles, a combination of helicopter transfer plus fixed-wing jet provides the fastest door-to-door time.
Ownership & Operations
Aircraft ownership in the United States falls under FAA registration requirements. Every U.S.-registered aircraft carries an N-number that links to public records including owner name, address, airworthiness date, and certificate type. The FAA Aircraft Registry maintains this data and updates it as aircraft change hands. Prospective buyers use these records to verify ownership history, lien status, and maintenance compliance before committing to an acquisition.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Avionics modernization drives both capability and market value. Aircraft with legacy analog instruments trade at significant discounts to those with modern glass cockpits (Garmin G5000, Collins Pro Line Fusion, Honeywell Primus Epic). ADS-B Out compliance is now mandatory in U.S. controlled airspace. Buyers should factor avionics upgrade costs into their acquisition budget when evaluating older airframes.
Charter Market Context
Empty leg pricing offers 25 to 75% discounts on published charter rates. These opportunities arise when an aircraft needs to reposition from a drop-off point back to base or to the next pickup location. The tradeoff is schedule inflexibility: departure time, date, and route are fixed by the operator's existing itinerary. The Jet Finder maintains an empty leg alert system for frequent charter clients.
