Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N7222U is a United States-registered example of the Beech 300 Super King Air built in 1985 by Beechcraft (Textron Aviation) with serial number FA-46. Public records for this specific airframe indicate a limited publicly documented ownership timeline; it is registered in the United States and has shown standard registry activity consistent with civilian transport use. Condition highlights are not published in the supplied data, but the entry emphasizes this airframe as a mid-1980s Super King Air series example noted for its utility and multi-mission capability. Operator and home-base details beyond national registration are not provided in the supplied dataset.
The cabin of this Beech 300 Super King Air airframe, seating 19, would be configured for short-to-medium regional transport and utility missions typical of the model; specific interior fit, avionics package, and unique amenities for N7222U are not published in the dataset. Typical missions for this airframe class include commuter services, corporate shuttle operations, cargo or medevac conversion, and government or utility support on routes consistent with a certified range of 1,806 nm and cruise speed of 312 kts. Maintenance considerations for this particular airframe would follow the PT6A-60A engine program and airframe service bulletins applicable to the 1985 production Super King Airs, though individual maintenance history was not supplied.
The Beech 300 Super King Air occupies a performance niche as a pressurized, twin-turboprop commuter and utility aircraft offering higher speed and payload than light twins while retaining lower operating costs than comparable light jets. Competitors historically include other large turboprops in the commuter and light business class segments. Buyer and charter demand for 1985-series airframes depends heavily on airframe hours, engine cycles, and avionics modernization; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe would focus on PT6A-60A engine life, structural corrosion checks typical of mid-1980s airframes, and any supplemental inspection or retrofit work undertaken since original manufacture.
