Hawker Beech to charge for legacy aircraft support

Hawker Beechcraft recently changed its product support policy and will now charge legacy aircraft operators for support that has heretofore been free. Broadly speaking, the new program–called Class (classic legacy aircraft service & support)–targets aircraft that have been out of production for 10 or more years, and operators of those aircraft will be charged $125 per hour for technical support.

While some operators understand the applicability to ancient aircraft such as the Twin Bonanza, their sympathy abruptly ends when it comes to various King Air models, including some low-serial-number 200s and 300s. The company also noted that “future updates to this program may include additional serial numbers.”
