The Beechcraft King Air 360/360ER is designed and manufactured
by Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company.
“We take pride in providing aircraft solutions for our customers
with the latest in aviation technology. The King Air 360’s updated
airframe, avionics and interior provide our passengers with a
comfortable and reliable flight experience,” said Lannie O’Bannion,
senior vice president of Global Sales and Flight Operations. “The
King Air family of aircraft is renowned for its versatility and
reliability, and this 100th delivery of the 360 is an exciting
milestone in the continued success of a legendary product.”
CBCC is a pioneer in global cancer care including cutting edge
cancer clinical trials that have led to new drug developments in
cancer care. Working for decades with the UCLA TRIO Network, CBCC
has provided patients with access to new clinical trials. Many of
these clinical trials have changed the way cancer therapy is
delivered today. The CBCC CRO (Clinical Research Organization) also
provides patients access to clinical trials across the world.
“The addition of this aircraft will be a game changer for us in
terms of productivity,” said Dr. Ravi Patel, medical director at
CBCC. “We are excited about the increased capability the King Air
360 will give us to globally expand our cancer care delivery and
research.”
Nearly 7,800 Beechcraft King Air turboprops have been delivered
to customers around the world since 1964, making it the world’s
best-selling business turboprop family. The worldwide fleet has
surpassed 62 million flight hours in its 59 years, serving roles in
all branches of the U.S. military and flying both commercial and
special mission roles around the world.
About the King Air 360
The King Air 360 cockpit features the addition of the Innovative
Solutions & Support (IS&S) ThrustSense Autothrottle. The
autothrottle supports pilots in their critical mission of
delivering people or cargo by automatically managing engine power
from the takeoff roll through the climb, cruise, descent, and
go-around phases of flight. Another key update in the cockpit is
the new digital pressurization controller, which automatically
schedules cabin pressurization during both climb and descent,
reducing pilot workload and increasing overall passenger
comfort.
Other upgrades include a lower cabin altitude at the aircraft’s
certified ceiling of 35,000 feet — more than 10 percent lower when
compared to the King Air 350i. The improved cabin altitude level
provides greater comfort for passengers, especially during longer
flights.
The redesigned cabin, meanwhile, features a stunning new look
with craftsman-built cabinetry, partitions and side ledges,
upgraded materials and finishes, along with all new interior
schemes. Other amenities that come standard on the entire King Air
lineup include pull-out work tables, power outlets, USB charging
stations and a private aft lavatory.
