It depends how you fly it. If you take advantage of the more efficient compressor on the PT6A-67A and fly at higher altitudes, you can extend range. If you fly the XP67A at FL280 or lower, you will reduce your range. File for higher and take advantage of the efficiencies of the 4 axial compressors on the PT6A-67A. In fact, the -67A compressor was engineered to operate at a service ceiling of 41,000 feet. This is why you can get to the service ceiling of FL350 so quickly at max gross weight. For more information on the XP67A, give us a call at +1 (254) 755 6711 to speak with one of our Engine+ Upgrade experts. - The Blackhawk Team
But if you use the same fuel consumption on the same floght level as the old engines, will you have netter efficience or at least thr same efficience? Thank you.
This is the Blackhawk conversion! Then music, a guy saying it’s great... more music and scenes of the airplane’s wing... What about showing the panel in flight, that would have been a proper way of demonstrating the improvements... 🤷🏻♂️
Hello, and thank you for your comment! We have another King Air 350 video which goes into a bit more technical detail. If you're interested, you can find that video here: ruclips.net/video/PrGG5nhkJts/видео.html. In-flight panel shots start around 0:35. For even further technical details, please give us a call at +1 (254) 755 6711 or shoot us an email at info@blackhawk.aero. Thanks! - The Blackhawk Team
Great question. I think people were asking the same question with the XP135A and XP52 upgrades until Beechcraft incorporated those engines on the production line.

Hi Alexis, thank you for your comment! I'm not sure I understand your question. So that we are better able to assist you, please give us a call to speak with one of our Engine+ Upgrade experts.

Hi Jason, great question. The added power does not affect Vmc, even with the different prop. The MT 5-blade composite propellers included in the upgrade meet the same Vmc numbers as the stock propeller. So, Vmc remains the same with the XP67A Engine+ Upgrade. Thank you for watching our video, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any additional questions! +1 254 755 6711. - The Blackhawk Team
Hi Tito, thank you for your comment! The XP67A Engine+ Upgrade actually makes the King Air 350 much more quiet for 2 reasons: 1) The upgrade includes the MT 5-blade composite propeller. These props are 102" in diameter, which reduces cabin noise substantially. 2) The upgrade eliminates the ground idle solenoid. Without the solenoid, you can taxi at 600 RPM, making ground operations quieter as well. So, the XP67A offers quieter operations on the ground and in flight - a win/win!

Love it.
Very nice!
What this do for the range?

✈️ If this is such a no-brainer, why does Beechcraft not offer these upgrades as stock ? thank you. ✈️ 🇺🇸 ✈️
Great question. I think people were asking the same question with the XP135A and XP52 upgrades until Beechcraft incorporated those engines on the production line.
Is it possible for the king air 350i to implement the autoland?
Thank you

I wish a Blackhawk pc-12 was a thing
I think the PC-12 already has the -67 engine.
it is now
