The civilian KA200 weights in at 12499 so unless you flew the military version which weights more I would not log it. The only civilian King Airs that weight in above 12500 are the 300/350 models and a type is required to fly these. That is just me and believe me I am not the expert..

One of us is not reading this paragraph correctly:

The 12.5K GW requirement applies for any aircraft type which has at least one model in the aircraft line above 12.5K GW. For example, flight hours in a King Air 90 which has a GW of 9K would count because the King Air also has versions (King Air 200 and above) that have max GW above 12.5K.

The way I understand that paragraph Is that If your aircraft has at least one model thats above 12.5, then you can log it. Since a King Air 350 is above 12.5, then I can log the King Air 90 or 200. Am I correct?

Does anyone think that the aircraft category "other trainers" includes light singles and twins used in civilian training? I guess this only applies to us civilian trained pilots.

How would you answer that?

AND, does "circling VMC only" count as a "limitation"?!
If you don't check yes for comm instrument multi, it won't accept your application, I tried this and had to go back. Technically "English proficient" is a limitation. Who are the poindexters who write these criteria?

I think you can thank the FAA for that. It's just a way to make sure you've got that square filled on your certificate.

No offense to hoover, but if you are serious about getting a job at FedEx and not messing up the application process, you need to separate fact from opinion. That is my opinion.

Exactlly. Especially if you believe what is in my profile, or maybe I used to fly the B737 and now don't, or I just use it as a way to pick up chicks. Now you might assume I am a guy, but maybe not. The real question is are you sure that I am not you?

In a similar vein, on the back of my certificate it states my ratings are Airline Transport Pilot-Airplane Mulitengine Land
Private Priveleges-Airplane Single Engine Land.

I used the military equivalency on the commercial/instrument requirements for my ATP. I have been under the assumption that since I have an ATP I also implicitly hold commercial and instrument ratings and mark "yes" under the ratings section. Does this check?



Cheers!
