The King Air fleet has posted one of the best safety records of any business airplane, but the 350 stands out as the best. High air temperature robs all airplanes of takeoff performance, but the 350 has enough margin to safely take off at maximum weight at sea level on a 126º F day.
Do you need a type rating to fly a King Air 350?
If you want to fly a King Air 300 or 350 like the one profiled in the February 2015 issue (“Turbine Pilot: The Ultimate King Air”), you will need a type rating, because these models are certified under FAA’s Part 23 Commuter category.

The King Air 200 does not require a type rating in the U.S. Max takeoff weight is below 12,500 as far as I know. There is a King Air BE-200 type for US certificates. The military operates them above 12,500.
