Textron has been awarded a contract for two additional Beechcraft King Air 350CER turboprop aircraft for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Air and Marine Operations (AMO).

After mission modifications by Sierra Nevada Corporation, these two Multi-role Enforcement Aircraft (MEA) will join a fleet of 23 King Air 350 aircraft used to safeguard the United States homeland as part of the coordinated application of CBP's aviation and maritime law enforcement resources.

The Beechcraft King Air 350CER aircraft is an extended range version of the King Air 350i twin-engine turboprop aircraft configured with an optional door, resulting in enhanced mission flexibility. Two Canada PT6A-60A or optional factory installed PT6A-67A turboprop engines with Hartzell four blade propellers power the King Air 350CER aircraft, and a fully integrated Pro Line Fusion digital avionics suite provides pilot(s) with state-of-the-art touchscreen controls.
