Flydog is correct provided you have done you're 3 TO/LDGs etc.  Until then, you may not.  Also, when thinking about logging time, even though you don't require a type rating in the 90/100/200, you may still wish to only log it as SIC (this opens another can of worms...).  If the airlines are you ultimate goal, really look into how each like you to log time!  If they look back at your logbooks (and MOST DO!), and see at 700 or 800 hours Total Time you were logging BE200 PIC time, they will become VERY skeptical.  That might get you a question such as "Tell me about the hydraulic system on the King Air 200 you've flown?"  If you were just looking to log turbine time and didn't learn about the airplane (I mean dig into an initial manual or AFM and LEARN about it), and you fumble that question, well...it's all uphill from there.

Now, the SIC can of worms:  Since an SIC is not required by certification on King Airs, you can't just ride with a buddy and log SIC time all day long.  Here if I remember correctly (someone help me out f I'm wrong), you can only log SIC time if it's the company policy to require a second pilot.  If they DON'T, just because the guy asked you to "ride along" doesn't mean you can log SIC.  Again, if the airlines are you're long term goal, really look into how THEY want you to log time.  Though each vary slightly, you'll get an idea of what they're looking for.  And, most if not all DO look at your logs.  I interviewed with an airline last year (hired but I declined the offer), they started with my first log book, first page, first entry, and that was over 20 years ago!

Didn't mean to get long winded here.   Hope this helps.

Good luck!
