Probably say goodbye to King Airs in any kind of commercial service.

This is an unduly alarmist thread, all the document says is that if you do unusual operations like pipeline survey or parachute dropping you need an enhanced inspection programme. Most AOC type jobs are the same as so-called “corporate” trips that the aircraft has always done. As Jason says, many aircraft have different inspection regimes when used in unusual applications.

Perhaps so, but there’s nothing unusual about:

Should the aircraft be used for missions other than that intended by design, such as an air taxi, commuter air service, pipeline surveillance, livestock/predator animal control, search and rescue, navigation aids inspection, extraordinary service at low altitude or unusually short duration flights (less than 30 minutes), the inspections specified in the Standard Flight Profile Inspection Schedule (Chart 201) are not appropriate for continued airworthiness of the airplane structure.
