C-12 Remotes?

[PTWOB_Flyer]

Anyone have any gouge on C-12 remote assignments available? Specifically, is it a one year remote? How much flying do they actually do? Which seat do you start out in? Do airlines consider B1900 hours quality hours? Sorry 'bout the barrage of questions....any help is much appreciated.

Blue Skies,

Not really sure as to which c-12's you are talking about. I will throw this out. The navy is getting rid of their c-12's. I believe the only ones will be in the training command. VT-35. Corpus Christi,TX

A buddy of mine fly's C-12's in Bahrain. He did not mention that.
He is getting out and trying for an airline slot overseas. They count his hours. He just got the BE-1900 type rating from the FAA.

Good luck.

For the Navy, Baharain & Japan should keep their C-12s, Naples & Sig will have the C-26 for some time to come. I know there is an embassy C-12 in Turkey that usually has AF guys flying it. AF also has C-20s & C-21s up in Ramstein or Stuttgart.

The FAA gave me the BE200 for the TC-12B. What's the difference to the B1900?

There are a few different places you can go with the C-12. Right now I know the US Embassy's have C-12. They are short deployments but it is up for any branch as far as I know.

As for the BE200 type there is a chance the FAA will pull it off your ticket. There is no suching thing in the civilian world. The civilian BE200 has a MGTW of 12,500 not good for a type. As for the B1900 it is a much bigger version of the 200 and does have a "true" type.

I thought 12,500 was the lower limit for a type rating. Our TC-12Bs actually have a MGTOW of 13,500lbs. Had to show the exaiminer at the FSDO the limits section in the NATOPS and he was OK with that. Thanks for the feedback.

The civilian BE200 is some where below the limit. Right at or just below 12500. Beech did it on purpose to keep it from needing a type. The 350 and higher have FAA Types. The military has a letter that allows them to operate it at higher weights. I fly the C-12U that with a MGTOW of 14,000. Some mods have been done to allow this weight. I have been told that if you go to get anything add on to your ticket and they see you have a BE200 type they will pull it.

Don't they have C-12's at Osan? A buddy of mine spent a year there hopping around the Pacific and loved it.

They also have C-12's in Alaska.

Ya I have heard of that Osan remote and that's the one that seems most appealing to me. Wonder who/when I need to start inquiring about that unit. Guess I should have done my homework on the C-12. It's not a B1900 as I previously believed. Anyone know if flying "type rated" planes makes any difference when the majors are tallying up your hours? Thanks....
