- Engine program and financials drive turbine financing.
About the King Air 360
The 360 refines the proven 350 platform with a new digital flight deck, updated cabin, and pressurization improvements. It carries a full cabin over meaningful range and remains the corporate turboprop standard.
As a new-generation airplane, financing emphasizes your financial strength, the engine program, and intended use. Flight departments are common. Buy on configuration and program status.
Ownership Considerations
- Fuel: two PT6A engines; ~90–110 gph combined.
- Engine program: program coverage supports value and financing.
- Insurance: turbine-twin premiums; often a two-crew or trained-single SOP.
- Maintenance: current-production support and parts.
What to Check When Buying a King Air 360
Confirm the engine program status and next hot-section/overhaul timing, review avionics currency and upcoming airframe inspections, and check for corrosion. Use a turbine-experienced facility for the pre-buy and settle the insurance and training plan early.
Financing a King Air 360
As a turboprop, a King Air 360 finances through turbine-experienced lenders — usually 15–20% down with a balloon common. The engine program is the biggest factor: an on-program airplane is far easier to finance. Turbine insurance requires formal training, often with a mentor period.
