Beech 99 training material

What I thought was going to be a King Air 100 job has turned into a Beech 99 job. I know everyone here hates the airplane, but does anyone have any training material in electronic form for the Niner Niner? Thanks in advance.
 
I'd be awfully surprised if there's anything on the 99 in electronic form, unless maybe Ameriflight produced something. The stuff you have for the 100 should be ballpark-accurate if you delete the pressurization. It's Fred Flintstone simple... I wouldn't worry too much about systems and such. And it's tied with the PC-12 for the easiest, most forgiving plane I've flown in terms of "stick n rudder" stuff (and significantly more "fun" to fly...better balance, good roll rate, etc). It's like a big baron with engines you can't shock cool. It's really not a bad airplane if it's flown on the missions it was intended for...more like extremely irritating.
 
Fantastic Airplane. The only thing that takes some getting used to is the trim...It moves really fast, so there is a tendency to overtrim at first! Otherwise, it is a pilots airplane!
 
I don't know anybody outside of the Internet that hates it. It flies like any other quality beech product.
You will hate the crew hatch after a while if installed. Still looking for docs?

I could not disagree more.

If you're ever in my area and want to grab a beer, I you can meet a person IRL that knows it's a POS. Quality beech product.. ahahahahahahahaahahahaha!
 
It's just that they many tens of thousands of hours on them, and all (or almost all) are have pretty dated offices. A little long in the tooth one might say.

pratt haters gon hate

That is true. I always showed up early and did the runup prior to the pax showing up so I didn't subject them to all of that lever pulling in the C90. Really enjoyed the airplane though.

There's the NTS test on start up and line up with consists of pushing a button for a second and watching a light. Other than that, nothing.

On our -12 install on the Van, the NTS test is done by maintenance, as well as the Torque and Temp limit test. On the pilot side we just note the first start temp of the day, take a trend, on start make sure the oil pressure flickers when the auto start turns off to verify the gear box relief valve is working, and on shut down with the kill switch verify a rise in torque and EGT indicating that the auto EPA purge worked.

You LOVE the 99! You want to buy one!
 
So you thought you were getting a king air gig and ended up in a 99? What did you try to get the king air at wiggins that I just left and they talked you into a 99?
 
MX performed NTS test!@??? Jesus Christ I hope you trust your MX. Although I suppose on a single it's not quite as insanely important that it function...I was absolutely religious about the NTS on the Mitsi...engine failure at rotation (or within about 20 seconds, probably) with no NTS = one very dead Pottsylvanian Spy.

There is no option for the pilot to check it, its tied into the strain gauge/torque ring system. For a test we take the starter gen off an use a splined shaft put in the drive gear to lock up the engine for the test of the system.
