King air systems

[HMR]

Newer B-200's are awesone. I used to get 290KTS on a regular basis.

Me too, but my buddies in the Conquest's never believed me.

AJL5236- Congrats on the job!

That's because he never flew a B-100 with dash 10's. Whole new ballgame.
Most bang for the buck.

Yep

Good for you! Their sim in ATL is a B200 with EFIS 84 and an UNS1-K. If it is similar to the 200 you'll be flying, it will be a nice new one. FSI Atlanta is pretty good, I recommend the Westin...

Sim is based off of BB-1647 and is level D. BB-1647 was an awsome machine. I flew her the first 2 years of her life. Most reliable bird I ever flew. The pictures in class of the collins flight deck will be of that aircraft. Taken by one of their instructors named Charlie Kilmer.

I never liked the 331's over the pratts. It was faster, but the 331's while easier on gas are impossible to budget for MX and NTS sux compared to autofeather.

The aircraft was only built because pratt was on strike.

The 100 body was to big for its wing. even with the -10's while fast, still does not do altitude well. I also never liked the stabilator. I had a run away with it at rotation....handfull.

Thank you everyone for the input. I will be going to Flight safety in Atlanta for training and because I meet 135 minimums doing the PIC check. I will be flying in a two pilot crew and am looking to get a head start before I receive any manuals. Once again thanks..

FlightSafety will sometimes provide their training manuals ahead of time, so their clients can study up before they actually arrive in class. This may vary from Center to Center, and it may require you to do a little "sweet-talking" to someone; but it could be worth the effort.

You want a real king air try a 65-90. They didn't know where to put half the switches so they just scattered them throught the cockpit on the fo's side because that's who used to flip all the switches.

The real question is what does lj, or bb really stand for.

Good point! The manuals are on CD/ROM now and if you call the center, ask for the King Air program manager. Tell him you will be comiing to school on x date, and he'll send you the CDs.
