Thanks!

I did mine at Simuflite DFW. They are less expensive than Flight Safety. Other than those two I don't know of anyone else who does the BE300 type 100% in the sim. The Simuflite course was 15 days, which I thought was about twice as long as it should be, but that's their program. At Simuflite you will have a partner in the sim and for the checkirde, you just do one approach by yourself to get the single pilot type. If you have any questions about the Simuflite course feel free to ask.

should be an approach, single engine go around, and one or two more things if i recall correctly...then again i cant keep the FSI program seperate in my little brain after jumping back and forth between the two...i just do what they tell me to do :laugh:

ahhh...clicked on the thread to offer an alternative...ATM offers the type for about 3 grand...in your airplane if you have one

I think FlyRight Inc was working on a 300/350 program.

If you are actually going to be operating the airplane single pilot, go to FSI and get the full program. Do not use a sim partner. That is one of the hardest type ratings out there. And for good reason: the workload in an emergency single pilot is very very high. There are lots of ways to mis-manage a problem that will lead to a bigger problem. You want to be well-trained to fly that airplane single pilot, not a bargain-basement rating mill.

Simcom is Orlando offers this type. Do not know the cost of it. Weather sure beats those other places this time of the year.

100% Agree. Also recommend FSI.

Thank you all for your input!

That is exactly why we used FSI in Atlanta. Great training and it was all done single pilot. Have fun at school H.Agenda!

It's a King Air! If you've flown any of them single-pilot, the 300/350 course will be no sweat!

If you're a "jet" guy, and you're not quite used to 6 levers for two engines, it might take you a bit more time.

BE-300 Type?

I'd agree with this as well. I did my Single Pilot BE-300 Type Rating at FSI/Long Beach about three years ago and enjoyed the program and found the Instructors very knowledgeable and helpful. When I took the BE-300 Initial Class, I had about 1500 hrs of Single Pilot time flying BE-200's, so I did not find the program all that difficult; but, I am also going to guess - admittedly based on my somewhat limited experience (my only two Type ratings are the BE-300 and the G-IV) - that a lot of folks will find that the BE-300 Single Pilot Type Rating is actually a harder (i.e. "busier") Type Rating ride than many (most?) two crew bizjet Type Ratings. (I thought my G-IV Type Ride was much easier than my BE-300 Type Ride, though, as my "first jet", the G-IV was a much harder airplane for me to learn than the BE-300.) Never actually flew a real 300, but I loved flying the 350, great airplane.

The Past.

Used to get both BE-300 and BE-1900 on the same checkride. I guess FlightProfit Int'l must've bribed the right individuals to get it split up into two seperate type rides.
