Air A90
Our turbine survey aircraft is a Beechcraft King Air 65A90. The A90 is a
twin engine turbine aircraft which is extremely safe and reliable. The
aircraft is magnetically clean and has an extended tail-stinger and dual
extended wing-tip pods. The separation between the wing tip pods is 16.3 m
and the tail stinger is 10.4 m back. Typical survey sorties are 4.5 to 5
hours in duration. A double walled stainless steel internal tank is
available for extended range giving survey times of 6.5 to 7 hours. The
aircraft is fully IFR capable and is equipped with full anti/de-ice
technology, which has been certified by the FAA for flight into known
icing conditions and has a remarkable record of reliability in icing
conditions.
An elaborate and modern instrument and avionics package comes standard
with the King Air. There are two full sets of flight instruments including
dual attitude and directional gyros, dual airspeed indicators and
altimeters, dual vertical speed indicators, and dual turn and bank
indicators. The avionics package includes a Garmin GPS-530, which is a
state-of-the-art global positioning system that is very user friendly and
provides the pilot with excellent situational awareness. Also are dual
glide slope / localizer receivers, two VHF communication / navigation
radios, dual audio selection panels, one low frequency receiver, dual
transponders, Bendix King-KFC-250 flight director and autopilot (IFR
certified, 3-axis autopilot) and a traffic collision avoidance system.
