BE300 Type Training Preparation Syllabus

The following 2-day BE300 “Prep Course” syllabus is intended to evaluate and better prepare Clients attending King Air training at part 142 schools such as Flight Safety, CAE, or FlyRight.  This is an accelerated program following the initial simulator “First Look”. Systems reviews are abbreviated and focus on critical systems that are often discussed or reviewed in a Part 142 training program.

Practical application of knowledge is demonstrated through simulator training in an FAA approved full motion dedicated Redbird AMS King Air AATD simulator. System knowledge and procedures are refined through application of normal, abnormal, and emergency procedures through use of factory supplied Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) and the Pilots Operating Handbook.

Prerequisite: Commercial pilot certificate, with multi-engine rating, Instrument airplane and FMS experience is preferred. Clients must be instrument proficient as these skills are crucial for effective FMS operation.  All training is based on Pro-Line FMS. Clients must come prepared having memorized BE300 immediate action items and should have a good understanding of the aircraft systems classroom guide that is provided ahead of time.


Course Outcomes

  • An initial evaluation through the “First Look” simulator session will indicate whether the Client is a good candidate for training.
  • Upon course completion, the Client will be better prepared to attend a Part 142 BE300 type rating course and will understand their expectations.
  • The client will demonstrate satisfactory King Air systems knowledge as accessed through exam and simulator scenarios.
  • The client will have a working knowledge of King Air Pro-Line avionics suites.
