Anybody out there know of a cockpit quick reference for King Air 90 or 200 for takeoff performance? I am specifically looking for takeoff distance, accel-stop, and accel-go. Beech customer service wasn't aware of a product that provides this (other than the AFM spaghetti charts). I do have tables from Flight Safety that provide this data up to 5,000 MSL, but really need this for up to 10,000 MSL.

Thanks!
 
If your flying off of 10,000 ft elevation airports, I personally wouldn't want to use just a QRH. I'd be triple and quadruple checking that sheet.

Just me personally, sorry

Is it certified for that high?

Sure... We're talking Colorado Rockies: Telluride (9070'), Aspen (7820'), Eagle (6548'), Steamboat (6882'), etc. The key is with these Part 23 airplanes is to make sure the info is easy to access. Running the "spaghetti chart" for takeoff roll, accel-stop, accel-go, single-engine climb on every takeoff doesn't take a lot of time, but if pax are waiting, it would be nice to have a handy reference.

Haha. 3300 feet or more of runway = takeoff. I'm an ex King Air 200 driver so I can get away with saying this.

That's the mentality we DON'T want our pilots to have. We want them to look at the numbers and be restricted by the shorter of accel-stop/accel-go -- and be familiar with what the numbers look like for every takeoff.

In a KA 200 at high elevation you can easily have an accel-go number over 10,000 feet. Bad juju if there are obstacles ahead -- which there usually are in the mountains.

I definitely know where you're coming from though. It's easy to think that these airplanes will do what we want all the time. The truth is, the single-engine performance can be pretty dismal.
 
Ultranav is a product I use. It's a software application you have to run on a PC based tablet. They also have an online version that is accessable through iPhone and other smart phones/ tablets. I haven't tried that version though. Check out http://www.ultranav.com/.

Or you can use the charts in the AFM to make your own tables...
