JAR 25 Aircraft

[south coast]

Hi there people...

A quick question to the panel....is a Beech 1900D a JAR 25 aircraft, and if not, what is it?

Thanks.

I think the B1900 is a JAR 23 Aircraft as the minimum Crew is one Pilot only. The commercial requirement to operate is two Crew members. In the past it was possible to fly PIC with CPL/IFR and appropriate type rating. The SA 226/277, Metroliner, was the same category. Do you want to get hours credited towards a ATP conversion? then you need to operate a transport category Aircraft with minimum Crew of two.

A B1900 appears to have a MTOW of around 7700kg, which would make it JAR 25 as opposed to JAR 23, but im sure someone around here will be able to confirm or deny this.

In Germany the Beech 1900 is certified as a derivative of the Beech 200 (King Air), I assume this is the same for the FAA.
So I assume it is a JAR23 certified aircraft.

Not only in old Europe the Be1900 C/D or the SA226/227 is certified as a single pilot Aircraft......

For the definitive answer, have a look at the document itself.
Aircraft classification (http://www.jaa.nl/licensing/classtyperatings.html).
If you're feeling very brave, you can download JAR-FCL 1 (pdf) and read through that.

The Beech 1900 is certified as a FAR/JAR 23 "Commuter": it weighs overs 12500 lbs but it is certified single-pilot.

I believe the reason why almost every airline operates it with two pilots is because the regs mandate 2 pilots when more than 9 passenger seats are installed in the aircraft -- somebody correct me if I am wrong. High-density pax seating in the 1900 is 19.
