King Air 200

Military C-12 pilots do not require a type rating or ATP, but we should. I fly a lot of civilians and GS employees and think the units should fund all their TPCs to get ATPs. I got my type with a single phone call and a visit to the FSDO with all the required paperwork.

As far as gross weight, unless we're training we never takeoff less than 12,500. More oft than not, we figure pax and cargo and then gas up to 13,595. I've even taken off at 14,000 before, but that required a special waiver as we were flying long overwater legs in Southeast Asia.

InHot, I don't remember if I told you but the boys down south traded in that ratty T-39 for a nice Citation. I'm a C-12 Instructor now and rapidly approaching 1,000 hours. Almost time to update my apps.

I have a BE-200 type. I fly a C-12T3, MGTOW of 14,000 lbs. There is a civilian BE-200 that fly's above 12,500 and that is where the type came from. It is called the CATPASS 200.

That's it! I've seen info on their mods. The company is out of AZ and have commuter mods for the BE-200 with belly cargo, commuter seating, eng. stack mods, etc. I assume their STC puts the 200 into a commuter class airplane.

If you go to http://www.barronthomas.com and click on "inventory listings", you will find a catpass 200 under the Beechcraft listings. It has 13 seats and a cargo pod. That is the aircraft the BE-200 type came from.

I thought those we considered "Beech 1300 Airliners" I know Direct Air out of MDW used to fly those...

I have not heard that before. Makes since to me though. I think they start with a plain old BE-200 then mod it.

...or at least should have the opportunity. When I was in the military, I encouraged all my guys to get an ATP. I thought it gave Uncle Sam a better aviator. My pilots were authorized the extra period to do it when they went to sim or could do it in the jet in concert with their 'Qual ride".
