What is the recommended climb speed?

In the context of the King Air 350, the recommended climb speed is 125 KIAS (Knots Indicated Airspeed). This speed is advised to optimize the aircraft's climb performance while balancing safety and efficiency. At 125 KIAS, the aircraft can achieve a good rate of climb without entering the risk of stall or excessive drag.

Maintaining this speed allows for effective engine performance and pitch attitude, ensuring that the aircraft climbs efficiently while providing adequate control response and stability. This climb speed is also a standard practice for ensuring adherence to operational guidelines, helping pilots achieve a consistent and reliable ascent during flight.

Other speeds in the range of climb performance can lead to less optimal climb conditions, such as lower climb rates, increased fuel consumption, or excessive stress on the aircraft systems. Therefore, 125 KIAS is the targeted speed for pilots to follow during the climbing phase of flight in the King Air 350.
