DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS
Clients attending a King Air C90A/B training course must provide a VALID PILOT
CERTIFICATE (with Instrument and Multi-Engine ratings) and MEDICAL
CERTIFICATE on the first day of training
NOTE:
Non-U.S. citizens seeking the issuance of an Airline Transport Pilot certificate
As of August, 2005 there are no United States Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) requirements that apply for the issuance of the U.S. ATP-MEL rating in the King
Air 90/200 program. There are, however, FAA requirements that must be fulfilled prior
to training/checking. Non-U.S. citizens seeking the issuance of an ATP-MEL rating
must first fill out a Verification of Authenticity of Foreign License, Rating, and Medical.
The form can be found at: http://registry.faa.gov/docs/verify61-75.pdf. Block 10 on the
form should state, WICHITA, KS since this is the local FSDO office that will be notified
upon approval.
After filling out the Verification form you should mail it to:
FAA’s Airmen Certification Branch
AFS-760, P.O. Box 25082
Oklahoma City, OK 73125
Or fax it to 405-954-4105.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding these requirements or any other
issues, please contact Customer Support at (800) 488-3747 or (316) 612-5300.

EXPANDED CHECKLISTS AND DETAILED SYSTEMS CHECKS (DSCs)
The Expanded Checklists and Detailed Systems Checks (DSCs) are an integral part of
the BEFORE ENGINE START, BEFORE TAXI, and BEFORE TAKEOFF (RUNUP)
checklists. Learning, understanding, and memorizing these checks in a timely manner
greatly decreases the amount of time required to get the airplane ready for takeoff.
Doing so will allow for more simulator time to be devoted to flying.

flight, or moving the power levers in flight below the flight idle position, could
result in a nose-down pitch and a descent rate leading to aircraft damage and
injury to personnel.

FOOTNOTES:
(1) Maximum permissible sustained torque is 1315 ft-lbs. Propeller speeds (N2) must be set so as not to exceed power limitation.
(2) When gas generator speeds are above 72% N1 and oil temperatures are between 60ºC and 70ºC, normal oil pressure is
between 80 and 100 psi.
During extremely cold starts, oil pressure may reach 200 psi. Oil pressure between 40 and 80 psi is undesirable; it should be
tolerated only for the completion of the flight, and then only at a reduced power setting. Oil pressure below 40 psi is unsafe; it
requires that either the engine be shut down, or that a landing be made at the nearest suitable airport, using the minimum
power required to sustain flight.
(3) For increased service life of engine oil, an oil temperature of between 74o to 80oC is recommended. A minimum oil temperature
of 55oC is recommended for fuel heater operation at take-off power.
(4) These values are time-limited to two seconds.
(5) High ITT at ground idle may be corrected by reducing accessory load and/or increasing N1 RPM.
(6) Cruise torque values vary with altitude and temperature.
(7) Reverse power operation is limited to one minute.
(8) High generator loads at low N1 speeds may cause the ITT transient temperature limit to be exceeded. Observe generator load
limits.

FOOTNOTES:
(1) Maximum permissible sustained torque is 1315 ft-lbs. Propeller speeds (N2) must be set so as not to exceed power limitation.
(2) When gas generator speeds are above 72% N1 and oil temperatures are between 60ºC and 70ºC, normal oil pressure is
between 80 and 100 psi.
During extremely cold starts, oil pressure may reach 200 psi. Oil pressure between 40 and 80 psi is undesirable; it should be
tolerated only for the completion of the flight, and then only at a reduced power setting. Oil pressure below 40 psi is unsafe; it
requires that either the engine be shut down, or that a landing be made at the nearest suitable airport, using the minimum
power required to sustain flight.
(3) For increased service life of engine oil, an oil temperature of between 74o to 80oC is recommended. A minimum oil temperature
of 55oC is recommended for fuel heater operation at take-off power.
(4) These values are time-limited to two seconds.
(5) High ITT at ground idle may be corrected by reducing accessory load and/or increasing N1 RPM.
(6) Cruise torque values vary with altitude and temperature.
(7) Reverse power operation is limited to one minute.
(8) High generator loads at low N1 speeds may cause the ITT transient temperature limit to be exceeded. Observe generator load
limits.

LIMITATIONS WHEN ENCOUNTERING SEVERE ICING CONDITIONS (Required
By FAA AD 98-04-24)
WARNING
Severe icing may result from environmental conditions outside of those for which the airplane is certificated. Flight in freezing rain,
freezing drizzle, or mixed icing conditions (supercooled liquid water and ice crystals) may result in ice build-up on protected surfaces
exceeding the capability of the ice protection system, or may result in ice forming aft of the protected surfac es. This ice may not be
shed using the ice protection systems, and may seriously degrade the performance and controllability of the airplane.
1.
During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed those for which the airplane is certificated shall be
determined by the following visual cues. If one or more of these visual cues exists, immediately
request priority handling from Air Traffic Control to facilitate a route or an altitude change to exit the
icing conditions.
a.
Unusually extensive ice accreted on the airframe in areas not normally observed to collect
ice.
b.
Accumulation of ice on the upper surface of the wing aft of the protected area.
c.
Accumulation of ice on the propeller spinner 14 further aft than normally observed.
2.
Since the autopilot, when installed and operating, may mask tactile cues that indicate adverse
changes in handling characteristics, use of the autopilot is prohibited when any of the visual cues
specified above exist or when unusual lateral trim requirements or autopilot trim warnings are
encountered while the airplane is in icing conditions.
3.
All icing detection lights must be operative prior to flight into icing conditions at night. [NOTE: This
supersedes any relief provided by the Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL).]
CRACKED OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD
The following limitations apply when continued flight is required with a cracked outer or inner ply of the
windshield.
1.
Continued flight with a cracked windshield is limited to 25 flight hours.
2.
Windshields which have a shattered inner ply will have numerous cracks which will obstruct
forward vision and may produce small particles or flakes of glass that can break free of the
windshield and interfere with the crew’s vision. These windshields must be replaced prior to the
next flight unless a special flight permit is obtained from the local FAA Flight Standards Office.
3.
Crack(s) must not impair visibility.
4.
Crack(s) must not interfere with the use of windshield wipers for flights requiring the use of the
wipers.
5.
Windshield Anti-ice must be operational for flights in icing conditions.
6.
The following placard must be installed in plain view of the pilot:
MAXIMUM AIRPLANE ALTITUDE IS LIMITED TO 25,000 FEET. CABIN ?P MUST BE
MAINTAINED BETWEEN 2.0 AND 4.6 PSI DURING FLIGHT
Windshields that have cracks in both the inner and outer plies must be replaced prior to the next flight
unless a special flight permit is obtained from the local FAA Flight Standards District Office.

CRACK IN ANY SIDE WINDOW (COCKPIT OR CABIN)
The following limitations apply when continued flight is required with a cracked outer or inner ply in any
side window. These limitations do not apply to minor compression-type chips (Clamshell) which may
occur on the milled edge of cockpit side windows. Refer to the maintenance manual for the disposition of
such chips.
1.
Continued flight is limited to 25 flight hours.
2.
Flights must be conducted with the cabin depressurized. The following placard must be
installed in clear view of the pilot:
PRESSURIZED FLIGHT IS PROHIBITED DUE TO A CRACKED SIDE WINDOW.
