Pc-12 /ka90

Almost evenly matched A/C

Kingair-Pro's
Bullet Proof airframes and parts.
Most MO's have had experience with kingair's
Solid handling an almost any weather
Short and rough fields no issue
Twin P&W PT6-21 engines

I have worked with Kingairs both Be90 and Be200 and they are fantastic aircraft very reliable

Kingair -Cons

Expensive to keep in the air
Starter Generators very expensive
Flap motors and winding gear also very expensive
Landing gear overhauls will empty the bank
Pressurisation cycles on the older models (A-B) are usually very high
Original Beech Nav/Comms are forever going pop

PC-12

Its simple its a single engine KA90
