B-300 currency

[Son of a Beech]

Since 1997 I have a FAA licence with a B-300 rating, I havent actually flown this aircraft since 1999.

What would I have to do to be able to fly again on this AC.

I am currently flying a Falcon 20 on a JAA so I am instument current.

SoB,

I have the same rating. I did the course on the sim but never got to fly the actual airplane... pity.

I believe that, since it is a single-pilot TR, the rating itself remains valid, as do single-engine land and multiengine land on an FAA license. The only legal requirement would be to perform 3 take-offs and 3 landings before carrying pax.

Please note that the aircraft insurance policy will probably require you to go back to FlightSafety for recurrent training before flying the aircraft.

Can you send me a PM?

so legally it is not requered to de a profcheck or recurrent training?

[411A]

Generally speaking, 3 takeoffs/landings won't work, if the aircraft is endorsed on your FAA license as a specific type rating.
14CFR61 applies, in this case.
A complete recurrent flight check is normally required, with a designated check airman or FAA inspector.

411A,

if your referring to the 61.58-check, its title says it all: § 61.58 Pilot-in-command proficiency check: Operation of aircraft requiring more than one pilot flight crewmember.

The King Air 300/350 are single-pilot certified.

SOAB

[Son of a Beech]

Erik is correct with regards to the Single pilot remark, however I've been on the phone whit the NYC int FISDO and the confirmed i have to do a PIC check since the B-350 is certified over 12500 Lbs

So, any sugestions for an FAA check in europe?

SOAB

You may be able to do your FAA Proficiency Check at FSI's new Farnborough facilities soon.

Also check Finnair's training center, they have a B350 sim.

Hi FLEXJET,

Finnair doesnt have an FAA possebility and FAB is not getting the 300 but the 1900 which under FAA is a different type

But thanks for trying to help
