I finished Pro-line Confusion...err, Fusion training at Flight Safety for my company...

....and it's a great system for a 777 lol I just think it's too much for a BE300 King Air. Especially if I'm doing short hops. I like a lot what it does but it can be overwhelming.

 

[CoffeeIcePapers]

All that crap, and still no FADEC or automatic pressurization controller.

 

[bunk22]

Nope

 

[Kingairer]

I'm impressed and sickened at the same time.

What company are you working for ? L-3?

 

[SFLAX]

Same complaint from me...it shall soon be in one of our jets, should be nice.

 

[Cessnaflyer]

The King Air needs some FADEC!

Gama, high works for Wheels Up

I heard a lot of gripes about the PC 12 when they went to the NG models with the Honeywell glass.

Not the right avionics for a turboprop IMO.

 

[Boris Badenov]

The original pc-12 was totally adequate in every way. Gild that lily.

I never got to fly the -9 but I got to fly a -10 with the 45 avionics before they went 47/NG. Great aircraft and the VFR repo legs at .4 hobbs didn't require 10 minutes of FMSing with the engine running.

Unless you put an APU in a King Air those avionics make no sense at all. It just means hot and uncomfortable PAX who are wondering why on earth you are not taxiing.

Or copilots....

All subpanel, side panel, and pedistal items (non-avionics related) are the latest and greatest 1960's technology.

I never touched any of that stuff on the 200 anyway! Gear up flaps up, vroom vroom!

Just like the 737!

Have you ever flown a 200 down south in the summer with an INOP AC? BTDT got the (sweat-soaked) shirt. Screw that! AUTO, twist, both blower on.

The CB is in the nose wheel. Just gotta push it with the engines running (an engine running forget which one) bruh. After the ice is melted off the ACM.

Those actually have good AC. It's the older environmental system that sucked balls.

Can you hook it up to a GPU and cool it before engine start? That would hella cool yo.

There's a mod some king airs have where you can plug a GPU into the tail and run the AC.

From what flight safety tells me the fusion will only be standard for two years. Basically, until the contract with Rockwell ends and they switch all King Airs to G1000. And having 200 hours in the Fusion 350 I totally agree that it's too much avionics for a King Air and that money should have been spent elsewhere.
