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?

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.

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.
