Pro 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.

Differences between variants
History
- 2007FAA certification
- 2010 - Última iteração da linhagem C90 iniciada em 1971
O C90GTx encerra uma linhagem de mais de quatro décadas iniciada com o King Air C90 original em 1971. Ao longo dos anos passou por C90A, C90B, C90SE, C90GT e C90GTi até chegar ao GTx em 2010, cada iteração ganhando motores mais potentes, avionics modernizados e refinamentos aerodinâmicos. A produção do GTx foi descontinuada em 2014 quando a Beechcraft (já Textron Aviation) decidiu focar no King Air 250 e 350.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Winglets blended de fábrica entregaram 4% de cruise speed
O GTx foi a primeira variante C90 com winglets blended Hawker BeechCraft instalados de fábrica (não retrofit), que adicionaram aproximadamente 4kt de velocidade de cruzeiro, melhoraram o rate of climb em altitude e aumentaram a eficiência em cruzeiro alto. Visualmente também distingue o GTx das iterações anteriores.
Type rating BE-A90 compartilhado com o B200
Pilotos com type rating BE-A90 (King Air C90/B200) podem operar todas as variantes da linhagem A90/C90 e o B200 com simples differences training. Isso facilita estruturação de operação multi-frota em fretamento e gestão compartilhada com King Air 250, reduzindo custo de treinamento e aumentando flexibilidade operacional.
Custo operacional baixo entre turboélices pressurizados
Com fuel burn de aproximadamente 92 GPH e custo operacional total de USD 1.100/hora, o C90GTx oferece o menor custo de operação entre King Airs pressurizados. Atrai proprietário-piloto que sai de pistão pressurizado (Piper Meridian, Cessna 421) e precisa de twin-engine reliability sem o custo do B200.
Limitations
Cabine baixa e curta limita conforto em voos longos
A cabine de 1,45m de altura, 1,37m de largura e 3,84m de comprimento é a menor entre King Airs e força passageiros mais altos a se inclinarem. Em missões acima de 3 horas o conforto degrada significativamente comparado ao B200/250. Por isso o C90 é tipicamente operado em voos de até 600nm com 4-6 passageiros.
Curiosities
Modelo descontinuado abriu vácuo no segmento entry-level
Quando a Beechcraft encerrou o C90GTx em 2014, o segmento entry-level pressurizado twin-engine ficou efetivamente vazio, os concorrentes diretos (Piper Cheyenne, Cessna Conquest) também já estavam fora de produção. Isso mantém os preços do C90GTx usado relativamente firmes (USD 1.9M-2.7M) e gerou demanda represada que fabricantes como Daher (TBM) e Pilatus (PC-12) vêm capturando com singles turboprop modernos.
