The decision to build a King Air cockpit will likely be made because you enjoy a great deal of pilot interaction. The flight deck is very conventional, cramped and even "old fashioned" compared to many modern glass decks. There is no "auto-throttles" or "auto-landing". You fly the plane on to the runway yourself. Of course the King Air has a typical modern autopilot system and flight management computers to guide and control your cruise. It's fast and very capable but you're in control and if you like lots of switches and other "stuff" this is the plane for you.
The first King Air appeared in 1959. Currently Raytheon markets 3 models; the C90, B200 and the 350.
