King Air 350 Type?

[pin727]

1900 and Be 300 used to be the same type but our friends in the FAA changed it yrs ago!!!

The FAA most definitely recognizes the type...the FAA issues it, after all, and it's a privilege accorded by the Administrator.

The FAA does not "recognize" one type more than another; a type rating is a type rating.

...unless its a C12, for according to too many FSDO's, having it would "lure" one into flying just any old B200 over its limit and no-one would wanna do that

"According to too many FSDO's?"

What is one supposed to make of that? The opinion of anyone at the FSDO level isn't really relevant, nor is it particularly significant. Which FSDO's? A FSDO has an opinion? Really?

What are you attempting to say, here? Policy is policy. Regulation is regulation. What those at the FSDO level have to say about that is insignificant, and certainly does not represent, nor interpret the position of the Administrator.

The FAA does not favor, nor disfavor the type. It's just a type rating...like any other.

Flight Safety in Atlanta now has 2 350 simulators. One is for the older 350's (whatever that is, I know nothing about King Airs), but the new one is all glass cockpit with all the bells and whistles. Hope that helps.

The "older" King Airs would be year models up to about 2003.

Observe that on Jan 1, 2003, one minute past midnight, the new Proline's didn't just pop up on ramps. It took Beech some engineering time before they came out (obviously).

By refining the office up front, it was kind of Beech's answer to all the spiffy light jets, Citation CJ's, etc etc coming onto the market in the early 2000's.
