insurable times for a B200GT?

the company I am looking at wants 500 turbine and 1000 multi.

I just don't quite understand how one can fly a metro or 99 single pilot but not a 200? Unless it is what is being carried, ie CEO's?

That doesn't seem to unreasonable. Pretty good actually. I would have thought they'd want more turbine, some time in type and sim school to go with a decent amount of TT.

TT is at least 2200 but 2500 preferred. they send you to flight safety

oh well, i will just keep looking
 
Have you tried different insurers? Part 91? Can you fly with an insurable pilot for 100 hours or so to pacify the underwriter?

it is part 91, i haven't applied for the job yet because of the turbine requirement. i would like too, as i meet all the other times, just no turbine
 
FWIW, I was just insured as PIC on a B200, Part 91 with about 2,300 hours, 500ish multi, 400ish in type, and about 700 turbine.

PM with any questions, or if you want the name or the broker.

Goodluck!

The other thing to consider besides what you're carrying is that freight companies flying Metros and 99s single pilot often have several hulls to spread the risk over, so insurance companies will often insure with lower times. All of the risk for that B200 operator probably lies with that single airplane, thus the insurance company wants more time/experience. Plus you're also talking brand new airplane vs one built 30+ years ago.
 
I didnt releize that flying a King Air required so much time. I was hoping that one my first full time flying jobs would be for a local charter company that operates two B200s, a navajo, and two twin engine islanders. Guess that will be out the question for quite some time.

SKY area?

I think why the requirements for a B200 are higher than say a 99 or Metro is because you'll be flying passengers not cargo.

Not necessarily out of the question...

I think it depends on the number of aircraft, safety record, etc., for insurance purposes. I started 135 flying in a 200 with 1700TT single pilot. SIC's at the company have started with ~1000TT and no turbine experience (flying our contracts that require two pilots, which is most of them). Some have upgraded to single-pilot captains at ATP mins.

There ya go. Big difference between the requirements to fly right seat in a King Air versus left seat single pilot.

Holy Toledo. :eek:

I, too, was thinking the same thing. I figured about 1500-2000TT; at least 500ME and have passed/completed ground & sim training. WOW!
