Valuation
The King Air 350 / 350C / 350i / 350iER price falls between $1,100,000 for an older King Air 350 to $6,500,000 for the newer King Air 350iER. The King Air 350 started production in 1989 and ended with 350iER in 2020. There is a total of 1,276 King Air 350 models in service worldwide as of today.
Risk Areas
King Air 350 models flown by pilots transitioning from smaller pilots and aircraft with dissimilar engines are risky to insure. Insurance companies consider qualified pilots to have at least a private license, with 1,500 total hours, 500 Multi-Engine, 100 Multi-Engine Turboprop, and full motion simulator based make and model training at CAE Simuflite, Simcom, or FlightSafety.
If you do not have the required flight hours, a surcharge would be applied. This will gradually decrease as your flight hours approach the required flight experience.
Less experienced pilots pose a higher risk for insurance companies. If the pilot has zero turbine time, the insurance company will require a mentor pilot who meets the minimum Open Pilot Warranty requirements.
Experienced pilots are also expected to have undergone a full-motion simulator-based training program within the preceding 12 months.
Claim History
The King Air 350 aircraft family has a good claim history. It has a low accident record, and most aircraft accidents were caused by pilot errors, weather, and icing. Some other common claims are FOD, hangar rash, hard landings, bird strikes, and runway overruns.
