Newest King Air 350 Model Certified

The FAA and Europe's EASA have approved Hawker Beechcraft's latest King Air 350 variant, the 350i. The updated turboprop twin features HBC's "FlexCabin" configuration — able to be swapped easily for various missions. The 350i also boasts a quieter cabin with sound levels reduced to an average of 78 dBA. The standard cabin management system on the King Air 350i is Rockwell Collins's Venue CMS, designed to accommodate several personal entertainment devices or personal computers. It includes a 15.3-inch, swing-out high-def monitor and USB docking stations that also serve as charging ports for devices such as MP3 players.
