TABLE OF CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION
This introductory study guide has been sent to you to assist you in your preparation for
attending the King Air 300 Initial Pilot Course with FlightSafety International, Long
Beach Learning Center, at Long Beach Airport (KLGB) in Long Beach, California.
Please study this guide prior to attending the course. By doing so, you will have a head
start on knowing some of the class material you will be required to know prior to
completing the course.
Attendance Requirements
ATP and Type Rating Requirements

Along with the entire staff of the King Air 300/350 Program and the Long Beach
Learning Center, I look forward to having you as our guest for training, and we thank
you for choosing FlightSafety International for your training needs.

DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS
The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) have recently established the following requirements. FlightSafety International
does not have the authority to waive these requirements. Even if you have trained with
us previously, the copies in your records will not suffice. You must present current
original documents for each course, every time you attend. Consequently, the
following documentation must be presented on the first day of training or you will
not be allowed to train – there are no exceptions.
U.S. Citizens:
¾ Pilot Certificate
¾ Medical Certificate
¾ Proof of Citizenship:
¾ A current valid US Passport
OR
¾ A Birth Certificate (with a raised seal) and a picture identification
Non-U.S. Citizens:
¾ Pilot Certificate
¾ Medical Certificate
¾ Valid Passport
¾ Other additional DOJ and FAA requirements that must be met. Please contact
Customer Support for these additional requirements at least ninety (90) days
prior to course attendance.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding these requirements or any other
issues, please contact Customer Support at (800) 487-7670 or (512) 938-0100.
(1) You MUST hold at least a private pilot certificate with an airplane rating, an
instrument rating, and a multi-engine land category rating without a
centerline thrust limitation.
Pilots having a minimum of 1,000 hours as pilot in an airplane, but not meeting any of
the eligibility criteria described in section (2) below, may receive a type rating with either
a 15 or 25 hour SOE limitation (see FAR 61.157 or 61.63). Pilots may opt to perform a
two-segment check using both the simulator and aircraft to receive a type rating without
the SOE limitation.
(3) To receive a type rating without a SOE requirement, you must satisfy one
of the following:
(c) have obtained 2,000 hours total flight time, of which 500 hours must be in
multi-engine turbine powered aircraft; * or
(e) have obtained 1000 hours of flight time in two different airplanes requiring
a type rating. *
* Pilots using flight time to qualify for a 100% simulator type rating check must
bring all logbook(s) that show individual line entries of the required flight hours (see
FAR 61.51). Simply bringing copies of the final page or pages of a logbook(s) will
not meet this requirement.
Pilots requesting an ATP, in addition to a type rating, must bring all of the required
documentation for the ATP (i.e., ALL logbook(s) and ATP written test results.)
This information is intended as a guide to meeting type rating eligibility requirements. Refer to the
appropriate FAR’s for exact requirements.
WARNING – Do not use reverse thrust with one engine inoperative. Care must be
exercised when using single-engine ground fine on surfaces with reduced
traction.
WARNING – Do not retard the failed engine power lever until the autofeather
system has completely stopped propeller rotation.
NOTE – Autopilot will disengage and Rudder Boost will be interrupted when the
disconnect switch is depressed.
USE OF OXYGEN
EMERGENCY DESCENT
1. Oxygen-CREW REQUIRED (Passengers as required):
2. Power Levers ...............................................................................................IDLE
3. Propeller Levers ..................................................................... FULL FORWARD
4. Flaps ....................................................... APPROACH (200 KNOTS MAXIMUM)
5. Landing Gear ................................................. DOWN (181 KNOTS MAXIMUM)
6. Airspeed ......................................................................... 181 KNOTS MAXIMUM
GLIDE
1. Landing Gear ......................................................................................................... UP
2. Flaps.......................................................................................................................UP
Warning – Determine that procedures for re-starting first and second failed
engines are ineffective before feathering second engine propeller.
3. Propellers.............................................................................................. FEATHERED
4. Airspeed.................................................................................................. 134 KNOTS
SPINS
If a Spin is Entered Inadvertently:
OPERATING LIMITATIONS
NOTE: It is strongly recommend that you arrive for your King Air 300 Initial Course
familiar with these limitations.
POWER LEVERS - Do not lift power levers in flight. Lifting the power levers in flight,
or moving the power levers in flight below the flight idle position, could result in a
nose-down pitch and a descent rate leading to aircraft damage and injury to
personnel.
TRANSIENT 156 (8) 850 (8) 104 1870 (5) 40 to 200 0 to 110
FOOTNOTES:
(1) Torque limit applies within range of 1000 – 1700 propeller rpm (N2).
(2) Normal oil pressure is 90 to 135 psig at gas generator speeds above 72%. With
engine torque below 62%, minimum oil pressure is 60 psig at normal oil temperature
(60 to 70 ºC). Oil pressures under 90 psig are undesirable. Under emergency
conditions, to complete a flight, a lower oil pressure limit of 60 psig is permissible at
reduced power level not exceeding 62% torque. Oil pressures below 60 psig are
unsafe and require that either the engine be shut down, or a landing be made at the
nearest suitable airport, using the minimum power required to sustain flight.
Fluctuations of plus or minus 10 psi are acceptable.
(3) A minimum oil temperature of 55 ºC is recommended for fuel heater operation at
take-off power.
(4) Oil temperature limits are –40 ºC and +110 ºC. However, temperatures between 99
ºC and 110 ºC are limited to a maximum of 10 minutes.
(5) These values are time limited to 5 seconds.
(6) High ITT at ground idle may be corrected by reducing accessory load and/or
increasing N1 rpm.
(7) Cruise Torque values vary with altitude and temperature.
(8) These values are time limited to 20 seconds.
GENERATOR LIIMITS
Maximum sustained generator load is limited as follows:
Sea level to 34,000 feet altitude……………………..100%
Above 34,000 feet altitude……………………………. 95%
STARTER LIMITS
Use of the starter is limited to 30 seconds ON, 5 minutes OFF, 30 seconds ON, 5
minutes OFF, 30 seconds ON, then 30 minutes OFF.
FUEL LIIMITS
APPROVED ENGINE FUELS
COMMERCIAL GRADES
Jet A, Jet A-1, Jet B
MILITARY GRADES

FUEL MANAGEMENT
USABLE FUEL (GALLONS X 6.7 = POUNDS)
Total Usable Fuel Quantity………………………………………………..…539 gallons (3611 pounds)
¾ Each Main Fuel Tank System……………………………190 gallons (1273 pounds)
¾ Each Auxiliary Fuel Tank…………………………………..79.5 gallons (533 pounds)
FUEL IMBALANCE
Maximum allowable fuel imbalance between wing fuel systems is 300 pounds.
FUEL CROSSFEED
Crossfeeding of fuel is permitted only when one engine is inoperative
WARNING -- The airplane is approved for takeoff with one standby boost pump
inoperative, but in such a case, crossfeed of fuel will not be available
from the side of the inoperative standby fuel pump.
FUEL GAGES IN THE YELLOW ARC
Do not take off if fuel quantity gages indicate in the yellow arc or indicate less than 265 pounds
of fuel in each main tank system.
AUXILIARY FUEL
Do not put fuel into the auxiliary tanks unless the main tanks are full.
