King Air B200 Rating
 

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

There are none to my knowledge.

Class A:

That type of training is simply not conducted in Canada by a Flight Training Unit.

Some commercial operators may be receptive to the idea of paying for sufficient training to pass a flight test to obtain a Beech 200 type rating but it may take some searching.

Various US training spots would be able to assist you .... like Flight Safety, Simuflight, etc.

I believe US aviation academy in Denton Texas does the training for the King Air C90 on an actual aircraft

I can't understand why anyone would want to do the type rating in the aircraft when the appropriate sim is available at SIMCOM or Flight Safety.

There is no way you can safely simulate many important emergencies in the actual airplane

BPF .... surprisingly, there are still people who are convinced to the core of their soul that training in the aircraft is superior to certified Full Flight Simulator based training.

I weep for them BPF .... I weep because they have obviously never experienced a properly delivered approved zero-flight time training program presented by a properly qualified and experienced training pilot with lots of time in "running the box."

The integrated program should include ground training program, SOP and emergency assignment the day before the session, preflight briefings, a set program profile, proper use of freeze to correct errors rather than reinforcing them, and corrective debrief and assignment of the next day's material.

Too bad all too few pilots have had a properly delivered program .... a classic case of they don't know that they don't know anything about what they should know, because they don't know what they should know ..... but don't.

All too frequently, the poor candidate is flown around collecting hour credits toward the minimum number of hours expressed in the Company Ops Manual. They are clueless that a long list of certain specified exercises are also required to be performed to an acceptable level of proficiency and it is generally highly unlikely that they can be accomplished in the minimum number of hours .... not impossible in a highly structured program, but highly unlikely.

The training "program" is .... "What do you feel like doing today?" .... and they have the audacity to be proud of "their training program" when they don't even understand the meaning of the term.

Tee hee
