McCauley Propeller Systems today confirmed the first delivery and service entry of its newest C780 propeller for the Beechcraft King Air B300 series, following its installation at Textron Aviation’s Tampa Service Center in Florida. The propeller, which features four aluminum swept blades and a 105-inch diameter, gained FAA approval in July.
“The new McCauley C780 offers King Air customers increased performance, a quieter cabin, and greater efficiency,” said Heidi McNary, v-p and general manager of Textron Aviation subsidiary McCauley Propeller Systems.
Textron Aviation's Tampa facility installed the C780 propeller on a Beechcraft King Air 350 operated by ExecuJet Charter Service. Located in Florida, ExecuJet provides private air charter services.
The C780 propeller offers King Air B300 owners and operators more than 50 pounds of weight savings, increased takeoff and climb performance, reduced cabin and cockpit noise, and an extended time between overhaul of 5,000 hours or 72 months.
King Air B300-series customers can get the propeller installed at a Textron Aviation Service Center or authorized McCauley service facility without the need for any additional modifications.
