Anyone know who does the King Air 350 type rating here in the states? I've done online searches but all I come up with are courses for the 90 and 200 which I believe you don't even really need a type rating. The only place I've found is somewhere in the UK.
 
The 200 also requires a type rating, for certain models over 12,500 lbs (C-12). Otherwise, no...standard civil models don't require the type.

The 350 definitely does require a type, and training for the type is available at several locations in the US.

...and your wording comes across confusing :p

to clarify, a KingAir 200 does not require a type.

most any yahoo that does have a KingAir 200 type are ex-military, and it was given by UncleSam...hence it does them no good whatsoever out here ;)

Flight Safety International issues the type rating in the 200, in the US, and it's a standard type rating internationally.

Not just military fly the BE-20 over 12,500 lbs, incidentally...and what good it does is entirely irrelevant. The BE-20 is certificated to greater weights, and does require a type rating when operated at those weights.

sigh, im not biting at your heels man...relax...ill bet your a hoot to fly with :erm:

yes, FSI gives the type, mostly to military guys...as i stated. theres a reason the FAA barely recognizes the type, but im sure you knew that :p

im also acutely aware of the fact that there are other entities that utilize the aircraft for which it was designed...not the point :rolleyes:

point was to RTFQ...

...hes asking about "in the states", not internationally as you so eloquently point out. then the other side, is a 200 in which "you don't even really need a type rating"...for which he is correct. if you would like to do a survey of all the 200 operators, i will guarantee the percentage that utilizes the aircraft in its designed capacity is very minute...but ill leave that up to you ;)

...cheers :beer:

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.
