King Air 200 recurrent and initial training
The King Air 100 and 200 family carries more weight and more performance than the 90 series, and it is often flown single pilot by owners who have many more hours in other airplanes than in this one. A 200 at 12,500 lb does not need a type rating, but some airplanes modified above that weight do, so the paperwork on your specific airplane matters.
Tuition shown takes effect January 1, 2027. Courses before then are at the current rate, so ask us.

King Air 100 and 200 training questions
How much does King Air 100 and 200 training cost?
King Air 100 and 200 initial training is $3,750 and recurrent is $2,850, delivered in your own aircraft at your airport or at ours. Tuition is the same in both places. Travel expenses are added when we come to you, and your aircraft's fuel and operating cost during the flight hours is yours.
Do I need a type rating for the King Air 100 and 200?
Not at 12,500 lb. A Model 200 certified above 12,500 lb by STC or in another category can require one, so check your airplane's records. The FAA's draft BE-200 board report describes that case.
Does the King Air 100 and 200 need a high altitude endorsement?
Yes, unless you already hold the endorsement or an exception applies. Check your AFM for your model's maximum operating altitude; the rule under 14 CFR 61.31(g) applies above 25,000 feet.
Will my underwriter accept King Air 100 and 200 training in my own aircraft?
That is your underwriter's decision, for your experience and limits. Ask your broker first. We can send the aircraft-specific syllabus and CFII credentials to help them decide.
Do carriers allow in-plane training in a 90 but not in a 200?
Some owners report that on pilot forums. We found no insurer statement that says so, and it is not a rule. Ask your broker about your airplane, your experience and your limits.
