2021 Fleet Update
AEROCOR has released the world’s first Beechcraft Premier I/IA Fleet Update. This exclusive report contains the results from the company’s recent fleet survey which included questions about aircraft utilization, program status, factory options and relevant upgrades.
History and General Description
In 2006, Beechcraft introduced an updated version of the Premier – the Premier IA. This version incorporated a number of improvements including systems updates (such as redesigned braking and “lift dump” systems) and a redesigned cabin interior (offering a new seat design, overall improved fit / finish, and reshaped interior panels allowing for more head / shoulder room). Equipment that was previously categorized as “optional” became “standard,” such as TCAS II, EGPWS, and a 3 display EFIS configuration. The IA also offered additional avionics improvements including an IFIS 5000 and solid-state WXR-800 weather radar. The Premier IA introduced several high value upgrades to the Beechcraft 390 series while maintaining it’s title as the world’s fastest light jet.
