The B300 is the model designation for the Beechcraft King Air 350, a twin-turboprop aircraft renowned for its reliability and utility in various roles, from corporate transport to special mission applications. It is part of the enduring King Air family, which has been in continuous production since 1964, a testament to its successful design philosophy.
Beechcraft’s history is foundational to American aviation. Founded in 1932 by Walter H. Beech, the company initially focused on advanced executive aircraft like the Staggerwing. Post-World War II, Beechcraft expanded its footprint in general and business aviation, introducing iconic models such as the Bonanza and eventually the King Air series. The B300 continues this lineage, featuring superior performance, range, and cabin size compared to earlier King Air models. The aircraft’s sturdy design makes it a versatile, hard-working platform globally.
Various access solutions are utilized for maintaining this aircraft. For general access and lower fuselage areas, Platform Ladders and Super Trestle Scaffolds provide necessary height. The Reach Deck Platform and Modular Stepover Platforms are essential for accessing the Wing Box and Engine Pylon areas, including complex components like the Fan, Compressor, and Turbine, as well as Fuel Tanks and Hydraulics. Specialized stands, such as the Super Service Stand and Super Maintenance Platform, offer excellent access for detailed work on the Nose Section (Radome and Nose Avionics) and the Tail Section (Vertical and Horizontal Stabilisers, and Rudder). The A Frame Aviation Platform and Cantilever Platform ensure methodical access to the Forward Fuselage, including the MED and Environmental Control System, and the AFT Fuselage, such as the APU compartments and Rear Avionics. The Easyraise and Ultraraise offer ideal access for the Main and Nose Landing Gear maintenance. Accessories like the Chock and Cone Trolley support general operations and safety.
