Yes, with your employer and at your employers expense.

What's a B1900 Rating?
And I'm hoping you're not paying for it. Rather your employer, :ugh:......

Stemming from that question. In Oz if you do a command rating on an aircraft like a B1900. do you have to have 500ME command in order to get the rating????

Vincent could probably sort you out.
Morno, a rating (or type rating) is the term used by the rest of the aviation world to describe what you may know as an 'endorsement'. :}

Hawker Pacific is another option ... ring the switch in Bankstown and Rod Mendham is the man you need to speak to.

If you are paying for it yourself then you could do it in South Africa, about $3000usd for B200 and B1900, and they have a nice non-motion sim. I think the place is called 43 Air School but they lease it out to other instructors as well. I did a B200 "Rating" there, with the last company I worked for (they paid for it) and popped it straight on to my Australian Licence with a letter from the SACAA
Ground School for the kingair was 4 days using Flight Safety notes and an instructor named Ralph "someoneorother", it in my logbook somewhere. If you want any more details PM me
There was about 2 hours in the actual Aircraft, plus back seating another student for extra exposure.
