Q1. If you're flying a King-Air 200 for flight-options/RTA as an SIC(pt. 91 I presume), as assigned as a newhire ... does this mean you have 0 legal flight-time until you upgrade to captain? (1 pilot aircraft & no ops spec requiring 2 pilots I presume). Just wondering.
Q2. On the 200, we all know you don't attempt an xfeed from an operating engine's side. I can find no reference why or any explicit explaination as to what WOULD happen if you did. Most of our very experienced 200 pilots didn't have the foggiest idea, it's just a don't do it type thing. My guess is that the side you attempted to xfeed from would flame out if you were requiring a large fuel flow (low alt/high pwr). the idea is there's not enough fuel pressure to go around so it's a function of if it could support (2) low fuel flows. any ideas?
Regards
