Arcadia Jets is pleased to present this 1981 Fairchild SA227-TT Merlin IIIC, a serious cabin-class turboprop for buyers seeking King Air utility with greater speed, longer legs, and distinctive ramp presence. With approximately 3,331 hours total time, a 4,052 lb useful load, TPE331-10U-503G power, and smooth, quiet MT five-blade propellers that enhance both efficiency and performance, this Merlin IIIC offers a compelling combination of speed, range, utility, and value. The eight-passenger cabin features a two-place divan, club seating, and a belted, private lavatory. Published Merlin IIIC figures show a 300-knot max cruise and nearly 1,900 nm range, exceeding the King Air 200-series benchmark while delivering the efficiency and direct power response for which Garrett/Honeywell-powered aircraft are known.
