Okay, so I'm on a 70's trip, and I hope things work out for Pinnacle's pilots. But, beware the management song and dance

Never bashed anything, so you calm down! You did not actually answer my question, I was just trying to find more info on the plane. And please leave my daddy's 6 pack alone! And by the way, thanks for including a Microsoft Flight Simulator screen shot, go back to playing now!

Was talking to a buddy in class. No AP, but yes on the FD, it has EFIS with an EHSI and a Garmin 530. No NDB approaches authorized and they can shoot GPS and RNAV approaches.
This is what I heard. Sounds fun!

Ha ha, Let me break this down for you. The Beech 1900D is not a transport category airplane, that means not a whole lot of redundancy on system, that's why the 1900 doesn't even have an overhead panel (so the airplane systems tend to be simplistic). The other is that the Beech 1900 is just a big King Air, and I am not sure if you are aware of this but besides 121 is a single pilot airplane so it can't be that hard.

what is Lol? It's fact isn't it? It's a single pilot airplane besides 121 ops and it's not a transport category airplane. Most T-props out there flying 121 are more complicated to fly like the SAAB 340 and the ATR. What the post that started this conversation was stating was that the aircraft was simple to fly, less BS and more stick and rudder like a Big 172!!! But seems like the new GIA guys are a proud bunch (one can admire that) but they are going a bit over the top sometimes and are making themselves a bigger target, so it's fun to pull their chain.

Just remember in the sim everything is done (manuevers, emergencies, ect) is done at gross weight. When you do the 15% in the a/c you will not so your airspeed will be different and it handles differently when you do your approaches. Just stay ahead of the airplane and you will do fine even a seminole can be difficult if u fall behind.
