Excellent information. Everything you said reminds me of when I did IA school 20 years ago. Granted no flying but the ground, oral and written were all there. The ground and oral were school and the written was FAA. Intense but i learned alot. Thank you.
The most difficult type rating is your first. The second time around is much easier because you know what to expect. Early simulators were not very good but since the 1980s the simulators are exactly like the aircraft. In fact After shooting an approach and landing to a 300 foot RVR you often feel like you were in the simulator. The key is working together and remember there is no such thing as a one man band.
Great video and thanks for taking the time to make it! I just found your channel and am definitely subscribing! I’m headed to flight safety in Wichita shortly for the same type rating. It was kind of comforting to watch this since I haven’t been through a flight safety course since going through the Hawker 800XP course in ‘04. So ya...I’ll definitely be knocking off some rust. I’m sure you probably had at least the operating limitations memorized before you got there but was there anything else that you wish you would’ve or should’ve focused on more before getting to school (besides the electrical system you mentioned)?
Do Companies and airlines pay for the type rating training and provide the certificates once hired or do you need to pay for and obtain the type rating yourself before applying to these companies/airlines?
Try to learn and be familiar with as much as possible BEFORE going to the type rating course. Some people show up without looking into anything. It will make it much more stressful.
Hi there. I'll soon be transitioning from many years in the B-737 to a Citation and wondering what training will be like. Are systems very complex? What about maneuvers? Thanks in advance.
Type rating should come with avionics used in training. Because they different avionics are so different that it’s not clear these pilots can fly older avionics systems.
19:55 Good info. Getting ready to attend CJ4 initial. This will be my first type rating.
Nice video. I got typed in the K350 earlier this year and just went through recurrent.
Awesome! Jealous! -charlie

Thanks for sharing and for the comment!
350 is the best all-around aircraft I've ever flown. Beechcraft got it right with this one!

Excellent overview... thanks!
King airs are notorious for power lever migration.
Sounds like every other professional commercial level flying course. Great comments and good philosophy.
Thanks so much!

They pay for it
Lots of good information
I’m at a part 61 flight school, so is there a way I can do it at a part 61?
Does the B300 type rating not cover the B1900 under the FAA rules?
How much year to be captain in king air
. After getting the three license
how many hours in airplanes are required?
Great video, but i was constantly distracted by how clean the glass is in your plane. Mine never looks that good. :)
Ha! Nice little bird in the shot. Wish it was ours!
How about when you're job is on the line?

Congrats! Here's a video talking about the citation type rating: ua-cam.com/video/uSPIhPNDf2E/v-deo.html
Your thumbnail photo is my company’s old airplane at my home airport. I fly its replacement in an identical paint scheme.
Calvin Nickel is that CYXS?! I can’t quite tell
Thank you sir!
You're welcome! :)

Thanks. I always wondered if the 350 required a type rating. I knew the 90 didn’t.

Its all fun and games until you run into a psycho instructor and then is not. It makes the session total hell.
Yikes - I'll bet!
Turboprops do not require a type-rating unless they weigh more than 12,500 lbs. Turboprops are not turbojets.
Correct - the King Air 350 exceeds the 12,500 lb mark which is why it needs a type rating. The smaller ones do not for the reasons you pointed out.
Sort you volume out mate.
Volume is fine....sort your crappy speakers dude 😂😂😂🤣😅
