Best glide speed

[Blur]

Anyone know what best glide speed in the King Air C90 or E90? I can't find it anywhere in the AFM.

In the emergency procedures section in the C90 manual, the "glide" checklist shows 125 knts. That gives you 1.8 nm per 1,000ft (deduct .2nm for each 10 knts of headwind).

On most aircraft it's the same or very close to Vy.

Not bad, I've never flown a King Air, and I was gonna guess 120.

135 Knots in a King Air 200, just for comparison.

Would it be reasonable to say if there is a difference between Vy and best glide, it would be solely due to the effect of propellor thrust (or lack of) over the wings?

Thanks everyone for the info. I have the speeds for the other King Air models I fly: BE99, BE20, and BE30. However, I never could locate it for the C, E, or F 90s.
