The King Air 200 is a continuation of the King Air line, with new features including the distinctive Ttail, more powerful engines, greater wing area and span, increased cabin pressurisation, greater fuel capacity and higher operating weights compared to the King Air 100. Beech began design work on the Super King Air 200 in October 1970, resulting in the type's first flight on October 27 1972. Certificated in mid December 1973, the King Air 200 went on to be the most successful aircraft in its class, eclipsing such rivals as the Cessna Conquest and Piper Cheyenne. Today the King Air 200 is the only one of the three in production. The 1500th commercial King Air 200 was built in 1995. In 1996 Raytheon dropped the `Super' prefix for all 200, 300 and 350 model King Airs. This is a model of the very first model 200 as produced in 1973. The original 200 had 3 bladed propellers. Power was provided by P&W Canada PT6A-41's rated at 850 shp. OY-PCL was built in 1999 as aircraft number BB-1675 and was initialy registered as N2355Z before it was registered as OY-PCL. It is owned and operated by Air Greenland. It is used in Greenland for medical transport, light cargo, passengers. OY-PCL is based in Nuuk, BGGH.

Editorial

When I first picked this mod up, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. The Super King Air is an aircraft that I know relatively well, but not one that I have used too much in recent times. So, I picked up this rendition of it to see what I made of the overall attention to detail. My hope was that I’d see all the typical distinctive features of the King Air come to life, including the wing areas and things like the cabin pressure as well as fuel capacity. I’ve used takes on the King Air that missed out on some of its more distinctive features, so did this make the same mistake?

An Excellent Take

No, it does not. I love the attention to detail – it captures all the little things that make this so different to the normal King Air. Now, given the fact this is over 40 years old, I do have to say that it does feel a little limited in comparison to some of the modern aircraft I have gotten used to. However, it does add that classical feel to things for more – given the overall success of the Super King Air, anyway, I could hardly say it lacked quality.

It just isn’t the same quality as the modern aircraft. In terms of the reference material, though, the developers have got this to be about as close as it should be. This model is based on the original ’73 edition, with 3-bladed propellers and an 850HP P&W Canada PT6A-41. This gives it a nice “oomft” when flying, and ensures that it has that more rigid, classical feel in the cockpit.

The aircraft certainly boosts and the only complaint that I would have is that it’s a little awkward to control. However, again, given the time constraints of when the model comes from, I cannot really complain too much!

This model is used in Greenland aviation circles for transport, light cargo management, passenger crafts and medical care. I felt like all the little extras that make it stand out as a specific-purpose aircraft are well designed and helps to add a bit of color and zest to the cockpit.

Overall? I’d have to say that I’m pretty damn impressed with the work that’s gone in here. The textures are pretty smooth, and the main gripes I have with the model more stem from the limitations of the real thing, not this rendition.

Worth your time if you are looking for an FS2004-compatbile Super King Air 200.
