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.

History

  1. 1972First flight
  2. 1972FAA certification
  3. 1972 - Lançado em 1972 como evolução do C90

    O King Air E90 foi certificado pela Beech Aircraft em 1972 como upgrade de performance do C90 original, substituindo os turboélices PT6A-20 (550 SHP flat-rated com queda em altitude) pelos PT6A-28 (também 550 SHP, mas com melhor performance em hot-and-high e altitude alta). Foi produzido por nove anos consecutivos até 1981, totalizando aproximadamente 347 unidades, uma das séries C90 mais bem-sucedidas comercialmente.

    Beech Aircraft / Wikipedia
  4. 1981 - Sucedido pelo F90 em 1979 e pelo C90A em 1984

    Em 1979 a Beech lançou paralelamente o F90 (mesma fuselagem do E90, mas com T-tail e PT6A-135 de 750 SHP) buscando posicionar uma 'C90 premium'. O F90 vendeu apenas 235 unidades em 7 anos. Em 1984 o C90A (back to convencional tail, mas com melhorias) substituiu definitivamente o E90 na linha, abrindo caminho para o C90B (1991), C90SE, C90GT, C90GTi e finalmente o C90GTx (2010-2014).

Curiosities and highlights

Benefits

Type rating BE-A90 compartilhado com toda família C90/B200

Como toda a linha A90/B90/C90/E90/F90, o E90 é cobertO pelo type rating BE-A90, o mesmo do B200 e King Air 250. Pilotos podem transitar entre frotas com simples differences training, reduzindo significativamente o custo de treinamento e facilitando estruturação de operação multi-frota em fretamento. Para escolas de aviação e operadores de Be40 que precisam de plataforma de transição multi-engine turbine, o E90 é referência.

Acessibilidade financeira no mercado usado

Com preços entre USD 600k e USD 1.2M, o E90 é a porta de entrada mais acessível para a aviação turboélice pressurizada twin-engine, competindo com Cessna 421 pistão pressurizado em preço, mas com confiabilidade e teto operacional muito superiores. Atrai proprietário-piloto saindo de pistão high-end e operadores regionais buscando cabine pressurizada com baixo CAPEX inicial.

Limitations

Cockpit analógico exige modernização para regulamentações ADS-B

O E90 saiu de fábrica com cockpit analógico clássico (Bendix RDR, Collins, King) sem ADS-B Out, RVSM ou TAWS. Para operação no espaço aéreo brasileiro pós-RBAC 91 atualizado e requisitos ADS-B, é necessário retrofit (Garmin GTN 750/650 + GTX 345R + GDL 88, ou pacote completo Avidyne) custando USD 80k-150k. Também não é compatível com requisitos RVSM em FL290+ sem upgrade de altímetro.

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 mesma do C90 original e força passageiros mais altos a se inclinarem. Em missões acima de 2,5 horas o conforto degrada significativamente. Por isso o E90 é tipicamente operado em voos de até 600nm com 4-5 passageiros, posicionando-se como turboélice de transporte regional executivo, não de longa duração.

Curiosities

Base para variantes militares e de calibração de auxílios à navegação

A FAA dos EUA operou variantes especializadas baseadas no E90 (designação T-44 Pegasus na US Navy original, embora sucedida pelo C90B em produção) para treinamento de pilotos multi-engine. Operadores civis também converteram E90s em plataformas de calibração de VOR/ILS/DME pelo balanço entre payload, autonomia e capacidade de instalar consoles de aviônica de teste.
