This state-of-the-art aircrew training aircraft was selected in
2023 following a full and open competition to modernize aircrew
training for the United States Navy’s Multi-Engine Training System
(METS) program. Deliveries in support of the up to 64 METS aircraft
contracted by Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) began on April 22,
2024. On May 29th at the Canadian Association of Defence and
Security Industries’ annual defence industry tradeshow (CANSEC),
Canada announced it will acquire the Beechcraft King Air 260 for
the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) in support of the Future
Aircrew Training (FAcT) program in Canada.
“The Beechcraft King Air 260 provides an excellent value for
military multi-engine training due to its acquisition and operation
cost, combined with excellent speed, range and payload capacity,”
said Bob Gibbs, vice president, Special Missions Sales, Textron
Aviation. “This state-of-the-art aircrew training aircraft is
currently serving the United States Navy’s fleet and is ready to
support the modernization of military multi-engine training
worldwide.”
Specific capabilities of the aircraft include factory options
for TACAN (air-to-air), angle of attack (AOA), V/UHF radio, digital
audio system, engine trend monitoring, condition-based maintenance
plus, observer/jump seat, passenger mission seats and full-face
oxygen masks.
Textron Aviation returns to FIA as the industry leader with more

and more than 250,000 aircraft delivered worldwide.
