The 9 pax in a King Air only applies to aircraft modded for FAR 135 operations in the USA.
All of our new Kingairs show 9 pax on the CofA and from my understanding are exempt from the requirement (if we so choose). However why would we? The standard of endorsement (from what I have experienced) is far higher from the sim (even the old clunker), than us poor buggers who had to do it 'old school'!
I will look into it further just to make sure.
The Beech sim in the main building is configured as a 350 with proline 21, but I am told it will soon be made available as a 200 as well.
I am told the CAE B350 sim in Melbourne is not able to be re-configured as a B200 and never will be able to, which I find a little bizarre.
PS: Love the new B350 sim, just like the 'real thing'!
