Beechcraft Premier I

Zero capacity required — the plane that teaches landing basics.

Last updated:

Beechcraft Premier I

The Beechcraft Premier I is your first customer in Itty Bitty Airport — a light business jet that lands on Small Runway, parks at Air Stairs, and pays $5,000 while teaching Taco Dev’s core loop. Zero capacity requirement makes it unique: you can earn before placing a single indoor floor tile, though you’ll quickly outgrow it.

Requirements

Minimal setup from beginner guide:

  1. Small ATC Tower
  2. Small Runway
  3. Air Stairs jetway (last placed for pathfinding — taxiway guide)
  4. No indoor tiles required

If nothing lands, see planes not landing.

Role in progression

Beechcraft proves your layout works before code cash funds expansion. First $5,000 landing confirms taxiways connect and jetway order makes sense.

Upgrade path:

  • 20 capacity → Q400 ($12,000)
  • 10 capacity → Sea Plane side project ($8,000)

Capacity calculator shows next unlocks.

Income expectations

$5,000 per landing is modest. Redeem 500k and SENIAC ($50k each) from codes to skip grinding on Beechcraft alone.

How to get money transitions to Q400/737.

Build tips

Place first jetway near runway exit — short taxi path while learning pathfinder.

Don’t invest in Medium Runway until targeting Boeing 737 at 40 capacity.

Pair with runways and taxiways basics.

Collection note
