In this video we met with Michael, who owns and flies a 1977 Beechcraft King Air C90 with plenty of upgrades. The airplane is capable of operating on runways under 3,000 feet while still featuring more than 4,000 pounds of useful load. With the reliability of a second engine and seeing cruise speeds upwards of 260 knots, the King Air is a perfect choice for comfortable and safe travel. King Air models are still being designed and built by Textron today, making it the longest production run of its class.

Glad this came up in my KZfaq feed. I was having a hard time deciding between buying a King Air C90 and making rent this month with enough left over to buy some jelly for my PB&Js.

Yeah, my family was a bit frustrated when I bought the C90. All the neighbous travelled in larger vessels, Challengers, Falcon 50's, Lears, you name them. They were ashamed to board that Microlight (

I got the family and vacation home I just couldn't get the plane well 2 out of 3 ain't bad😆

Best to check your rudder cables for proper tensioning. The rudder problem sounds like a problem a fellow youtuber was having while the autopilot was engaged. The airplane was rocking back and forth very slowly, only noticeable when speeding up his videos during replay. His problems were w/ailerons, but rudder cables can do the same. Poorly tensioned cables cause lots of problems with flight surfaces and can be a sign of cable failure which can lead to catastrophic problems. Check your cables for stretching, corrosion, tensioning, chafing, and whatever else your mechanic feels necessary!

Nice video. I did most of my multi engine training in a C90. One suggestion, it's good practice to run your strobes from the time you enter the runway and leave them in until you you exit the runway at your destination. The only time I turn them off is if I'm IMC at night.

KA pilot here, I don't understand the CO detector on the panel....bleed air will not introduce CO, nor will any operational or failure mode of the electric heater, that's a curious item to have on the panel- the rudder trim shouldn't need any adjustment in normal conditions, I'm curious to understand what is wrong with your plane there, and also could share with you that you may want to verify when you put your rudder trim knob on the center index, that your trim tab is flush- it is possible for the knob to be installed incorrectly, and you may be introducing trim issues inadvertently if so, the other tip I could give is that looking at the static shot of your interior, your rudder pedals do not seem to be lined up, but the exterior shot shows your nosegear centered- this suggests to me that your rudder pedals may not be clicked into the equal adjustment points, this is something you can adjust with your feet, there is a tab on the inside of the rudder pedals that lets you independently adjust their distance from the pilot seat, if these are out of whack, you will have a perceived issue with rudder trim

@michaeldaly7044 4 ай бұрын
Thanks for the pointers. I put the CO detector up there because I thought maybe the heater was gas and I wasn't sure if bleed air could introduce CO. I'm pretty sure the heater is electric and if bleed air cannot introduce CO that I can remove it. l'll take a look at the rudder pedal adjustment. Thanks for the pointer!
