B200 SE only 210 - 200 kts????? Think you may be thinking of the C90!!!

The B200 SE definately 270 - 275 kts TAS. The older B200's with -42 engines TAS around 250 - 260kts. The -41 engined B200's between 240 - 250kts. These speeds are achieved with an ITT of 750C for the -42(max 800C), 700C with the -41(max 750C) and around the FL250 mark.

I flew a B200 out of Cairns with a cargo pod and -42 engines and that still had a TAS of around 245kts.

And a PC12 doing 250kts TAS?? Hmmm think that might be a bit optimistic. I believe our company plans around a 230 - 240kt TAS. Anyway, a B200 is faster than a PC12. Even so, I'm looking forward to having a pole of the PC12 when we eventually get one sent to our base.

I should also note that the B200's that I have flown have all had various Reisbeck mods done, so maybe that makes a slight difference with regards to TAS.
