Any flying schools in North America providing rating (endorsement) on King Air B200 / C - 90 / Pilatus PC 12 on actual aircraft.

At least in FAA land there is no rating for the 90, 100 and 200 King Airs and the PC-12 since their max TO weight is less than 12,501 pounds. there are some schools that do training, I don't know if any will do it in the plane.

There is indeed an FAA type rating for the KA200. Beech produced KingAirs with a weight greater than 12,500. The models are 200T, 200CT, A200CT, B200T, B200CT, and B200C. The designation is "B200."

To answer your question above, I believe FlightSafety Intl. offers the type rating at training centers offering KingAir 200 training.

For training in the actual aircraft I suspect you would have to coordinate that with FlightSafety or SimCom (for both the PC-12 and KA200).

I thought it was only the -300s that went above 12,500 but you're right - partly. The designation is BE-200.

Correct, BE200, and it was right in front of me when I typed it. Here is the FAA's type rating master document.
