King Air / B1900 - IATRA?

Post by Doodlebugger »

Just wondered can someone confirm the King Air 200/350, and B1900 for that matter are still all designated single pilot ?
Just curious why every operator seems to require the IATRA or ATPL's to be written as a prerequisite for an FO position on these aircraft? Obviously flying them multi-crew, maybe that's why, but pretty sure not required?

They are both single pilot certified.

Only ones that aren't to my knowledge are the 1900 B/C. Not too many of those around anymore.

D's and all King Airs are SP certified.

I wonder if it has to do with a knowledge barrier the operators expect. IATRA requires some basic turbine and weight and balance stuff beyond the CPL exams.

I believe that they changed the other 1900 models to also be single pilot in Canada, if I’m remembering correctly.

I suspect the IATRA requirement is just a way to filter out all the low time guys that haven’t found the time/are too lazy to write it - the exam itself is a joke.

B's and C's are also single pilot certified. I believe they started out as 2 crew originally, but that was changed to single crew maybe 8ish years ago.

Keep in mind as well, if you plan to jump to a 705 carrier with your IATRA and you flew the 1900, your IATRA hasn't been "activated". Make sure to look out for the expiry of your exam in that regards.

Since I’m flying the King Air, does that qualify me to fly the Queen of the skies?

1900 and 1900C models required a minimum crew of 2 pilots when originally certified. On July 31, 2014, the requirement for the 1900 and 1900C was changed to a minimum crew of 1)

If you're asking about Alberta specifically requiring an ATPL, "Contrails" and their unique brand of BS strikes again, and requires the ATPL or IATRA written to be SIC of a King Air and 1900.
