King Air 350 and 300 recurrent training
The King Air 300 and 350 sit above the 12,500 lb line, which changes the regulatory picture for both pilot and instructor. To act as pilot in command you need a type rating, and under 14 CFR 61.195(e) your instructor needs that rating on their pilot certificate too. The 300LW is the exception: its 12,500 lb maximum takeoff weight keeps it out of that rule.
Tuition shown takes effect January 1, 2027. Courses before then are at the current rate, so ask us.

King Air 300 and 350 training questions
How much does King Air 300 and 350 training cost?
King Air 300 and 350 initial training is $3,950 and recurrent is $2,950, 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 300 and 350?
Yes for the 300 and the 350 (B300), both over 12,500 lb. The 300LW, at 12,500 lb, does not need one. Your instructor must also hold the rating to give instruction in a type-rated airplane, under 14 CFR 61.195(e). Our published courses do not include a type rating practical test.
Does the King Air 300 and 350 need a high altitude endorsement?
Yes. FAA and EASA data sheets show a 35,000 foot maximum operating altitude, so the 14 CFR 61.31(g) endorsement applies unless you already hold it or an exception applies.
Will my underwriter accept King Air 300 and 350 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.
