The Beechcraft King Air is designed and manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company.
Beechcraft King Air由德事隆航空公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：TXT）旗下公司德事隆航空公司設計和製造。
The aircraft, which will be known as the T-54A, replaces the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) fleet of T-44C Pegasus aircraft at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi. A variant of the twin-engine and pressurized Beechcraft King Air 260, the T-54A will modernize the fleet and be more representative of follow-on fleet aircraft. The T-44 has been in service for more than 40 years.
這架飛機將被稱爲 T-54A，取代了科珀斯克里斯蒂海軍航空站的 T-44C Pegasus 飛機海軍航空訓練主任（CNATRA）機隊。T-54A 是雙引擎加壓的 Beechcraft King Air 260 的變體，將對機隊進行現代化改造，更能代表後續艦隊飛機。T-44 已經服役了 40 多年。
The T-54A includes an updated avionics suite and automation qualities to better prepare students for the advanced aircraft they will fly in the fleet.
T-54A 包括更新的航空電子設備套件和自動化功能，可讓學生更好地爲他們將在機隊中駕駛的先進飛機做好準備。
"The T-54A benefits from an active Beechcraft King Air assembly line in Wichita, Kansas, where all required METS avionics and interior modifications are installed on the line; keeping costs down, aircraft conformity consistent across the fleet and optimizing the delivery schedule to the Navy," said Bob Gibbs, vice president, Special Missions Sales, Textron Aviation. "We are thrilled to continue our 47-year relationship of Textron Aviation aircraft conducting multi-engine flight training for Navy, Marine and Coast Guard Aviators."
德事隆航空特種任務銷售副總裁鮑勃·吉布斯表示：“T-54A 得益於位於堪薩斯州威奇托的活躍的 Beechcraft King Air 裝配線，該裝配線上安裝了所有必需的 METS 航空電子設備和內飾改裝；降低了成本，使整個機隊的飛機合規性保持一致，並優化了向海軍的交付時間表。”“我們很高興與德事隆航空飛機繼續保持長達47年的合作關係，爲海軍、海軍陸戰隊和海岸警衛隊的飛行員進行多引擎飛行訓練。”
METS-specific capabilities 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.
METS 的特定功能包括 TACAN（空對空）、攻擊角度（AOA）、V/UHF 無線電、數字音頻系統、發動機趨勢監控、基於狀態的維護以及、觀察員/跳躍座椅、乘客任務座椅和全臉氧氣面罩的出廠選項。
Earlier this month, TRU Simulation + Training Inc., an affiliate of Textron Aviation Inc., announced the company was awarded the METS Ground Based Training System (GBTS) contract providing the U.S. Navy with a fully integrated training system of aircraft and training devices. The contract base award is for three Unit Training Device (UTD) simulators in a King Air 260 standard configuration, one Operational Flight Trainer (OFT) simulator in the METS T-54A configuration, one Simulator Support Station (SSS) in the METS T-54A configuration and 21 Desktop Trainers for avionics training.
